Playbill Storage

Posted: 10/26/10 at 7:04pm

I am realizing that I have a lot of Playbills after years of collecting, and the plastic tub I'm keeping them in is overflowing. I was looking into a few storage options, such as the Playbill Binders on Playbill.com, but those are so expensive that it would cost me hundreds of dollars to store all the playbills I already have in there, plus hundreds more in the future for the ones I will get later. I could always keep storing them in tubs, but I worry about what will happen to them over time.
My question to you all is how do you store your playbills? Advice on what to do with mine would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have 1,000 Playbills and finally found a way to store most of them neatly (and display a small amount). There are very cheap and perfect sized mini, coated cardboard boxes at IKEA. I file and stash 99% in these boxes and stack them in the closet. The others I frame cheaply and nicely in simple frames from PEARL PAINT FRAMES on Canal St, NYC. There's also an old thread here on BWW on this subject w/lots of other good ideas

I have hundreds and hundreds of playbills going back to the 80s and I finally realized the other day while watching HOARDERS that I don't want these in my apartment. They're just in tubs. I don't look at them, I don't even know whats there. What's the point in me keeping them?
