Quick question...I'm trying to buy frames to fit some of my Playbills, but I don't know what size to buy...what do you guys usually do? I'm at the store now, but don't have a Playbill with me!

According to Playbill.com, contemporary Playbills are 5 3/8" by 8 1/2". Older ones are 6 3/4" by 9 1/4".

Any playbills I framed I typically spend a little extra and get an acid-free matte put in and use a slightly larger frame to accommodate it. (You can get acid-free mattes and purchase a frame as well and do this on your own.)
