I like to save my Playbills too, but some of the old ones I look at and can't remember when. From now on I too will date them and staple the stub.
I also like to grab a few extras, and sometimes friends and family send me some from tours around the country because they know I'm a big fan.
I happen to be a big time Thoroughly Modern Millie fan, I have loads of Playbills, and all my stubs are on my cork board right here next to me, but someday I will get them all organized.

I save my playbills now! Unfortunately, as a kid I didn't. I actually bought the playbill binders from playbill.com and that's where they stay! I don't date them or anything...that's a good idea. I'll have to start!
yes me too!! i love collecting playbills! i'm a tad obessessive, I don't like fingerprints and stuff on it, it kills me when people fold it and put it in their pockets
I try to always save my playbills.
Unfortunately, when I first started seeing shows I was a young teenager (like, 13), and I had a tendency to cut everything up, and put it on my wall. For example, I cut the cover off my nice, autographed broadway CATS playbill, and hung it up. I also cut the pictures out of my POTO programm.
I'm over that now though. I usually grab extra playbills when I go see plays, to give to my friends. My own playbills are scattered everywhere, but I never throw them out.
