Here's some of the things I have. Nothing too crazy, I'm really limited on space so I can't really display much of anything right now. I've found that vinyls look fantastic in the cheap frames from Target.
The Carrie stuff I had custom framed, but I'm going to look into having the opening night playbill put in as opposed to the black and white preview one. I've moved stuff around too so that's why some things are the same in each picture :)
I have limited room so my collection isn't as large as other people's. I have a Cinderella one that isn't framed yet. Not quite sure where to put it.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
Inexpensive record album frames work really well. Though not Broadway, I got these in the late 90's at a record swap meet in San Francisco, and the frames on sale at Urban Outfitters.

I will take some pictures of my walls later. I forgot this thread existed.

Here are mine. I know I don't have as many as some people.

And these 3 things aren't exactly on walls, but I have them on display.

I’d love to see updates to this thread as many of the pictures have expired. I’d like to create a room that displays my window cards but I’m looking for ways to make it look classy - in a front piano room in my house. Anyone have any classy ways to display them (e.g., rooms with wainscoating, etc)? I’d be happy to see any pics though!
This thread inspired me to finally put together my Broadway wall! I only started attending shows like 18 months ago, so I hope to catch up with everyone's walls.
(The unframed Playbills are on plastic binder sleeves and hung from a clip, for those not able to frame every single souvenir they own)
I love a good window card thread! So glad that this resurfaced. :)
I don't have one dedicated wall for displaying my window cards. I've got nine archival frames for them throughout the apartment that I purchased about ten years ago from Hollywood Poster Frames. I wish I could display my entire collection, but now that it's ballooned into the multi-hundreds, it'd make for some pretty crowded walls. I found these wonderful art portfolios on Amazon that provide terrific storage and protection for my collection. I'll cycle different cards into the frames as the mood strikes me.
Right now, on display are window cards from Hamilton at The Public Theatre (signed by the full original cast), Hamilton Broadway opening night, Chicago 1975 Philadelphia pre-Broadway try-out, Angels in America (world-premiere of parts one and two) 1992 at Mark Taper Forum, Once On This Island OBC, Ragtime (signed by the full OBC), Into the Woods (signed) OBC, Company OBC, and Merrily We Roll Along OBC.

My Broadway poster wall at home in Minneapolis, MN.
I'm a collector please PM me if you have any rare Hello, Dolly! window card posters for sale. Or if you spot one for sale anywhere. I really want one with Yvonne DeCarlo, Martha Raye or Madeline Kahn.
I can’t seem to save as a pic. Just three of the window cards I have on my walls. These are the latest: Dear Evan Hansen, Come From Away, and the off-Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd. All signed by the cast.
(If you guys would love to share your Broadway walls but have trouble posting pictures, let me know and I can help. I’m really curious to see them and it takes two minutes)
