Hey everyone

My boyfriend is trying to collect magnets for all the shows we have seen and we are having trouble finding ones for older shows. He just recently started and is trying to build up his collection. Can anyone recommend a good website or store where we might have some luck, other than ebay? I have found some stuff on ebay but it is pretty limited. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Or if anyone on here has any memorabilia or extras of things they'd like to sell, please let me know.

here are some of the shows we are looking for: 9 to 5, Caroline or Change, Titanic, Taboo, Gypsy, Tommy, Cabaret, amongst others

Thanks!!

That's why I always buy (have to) the souvenir program & window card for the show I see because it's almost impossible to find merchandise after. I've yet to find a souvenir program for Catch Me If You Can (found one on ebay for $200. im not that desperate) & for the recent Peter Pan tour souvenir program.. and I'm sure I won't ever have them..

websites (if they have what your looking for) are:
http://www.playbillstore.com/
http://www.broadwaystore.com/
http://www.broadwaymerchandiseshop.com/
http://www.broadwayposters.com/

about a week ago I bought a Catch Me If You Can Program off Ebay for 10.00 Total. I wanted one that I could actually look at and enjoy because the one I bought at the theatre is signed by the cast. I hardly ever buy programs or anything at the theatre because of it's high price, and wait for it to show up on eBay. I have been able to get everything I've ever wanted for next to nothing that way. I just have to wait a little while. However, I have yet to find one of those I LOVE PRISCILLA shirts, and I REALLY want on of those.

Just saw the CMIFYC Program on Ebay right now for 200.00 dollars- was the seller high or something? LOL
- the worst part is the listing shows that one sold for 150.00- REALLY!?!?!

Try contacting the show's merchandising company to see if they have anything left over for sale?

http://www.encore-merchandising.com/

This may not be all of them, but it at least is a start.

Not sure if it has to be "official". If that isn't the issue, making a magnet is easy. Go online and find the appropriate artwork and print it out. You can use software to size it accordingly. The "magnet" of kitchen magnets are readily available online, too. You just glue the two together.

Just a suggestion for those you can't find.

Bumping this thread to ask about BroadwayStore.com since I saw it mentioned a few times.  Has anyone made purchases there, and if so, did you have a good experience?  They have some things that I haven't been able to find elsewhere, but I don't know if this is an "official" website like Playbill Store, etc.  Any feedback would be appreciated!

I've been ordering from them for years and have always had a positive experience.

I wish someone would make a store of only souvenir programs! They always go extinct. Posters can always be duplicated when they sell out.

Thanks, tazber!  I feel more confident about ordering with them now.
