Hi Ed,

The first place to check is, of course, eBay to see what the average price of items in similar condition and age are selling for. Make sure you search completed auctions as well.

After that, you might want to inquire with local auction companies to see if there’s a local or regional market for them.

In general, I’ve gotten the best prices by selling to eBay’s larger marketplace but it is a bigger pain. Some items I’ve made good money on by selling them at local antique auctions or in display cases at local antique malls.

I am executor of an estate that has thousands of vintage Playbills from the 1950’s through the 1980’s . Would anyone in Phila/NYC area be interested in seeing and making bid. Not interested in high profit…just a good new home. Mint condition… Very few duplicates.

Could you tell me a few of the features of framing Broadway Show Playbills? How does one frame Broadway Playbills for display over a counter? How do you address the problem of keeping Vintage Broadway Playbills near heat and greasy air at all times? I’ve had problems with Vintage Broadway Playbills deteriorating. I’m just trying to learn all I can about Vintage Broadway Playbills.

I think I will call my aunt who lives in New York and offer to put her collectibles up for sale on eBay. I am sure she has some Broadway playbills up in her attic. Thanks for the idea.

Hi Discount Books,

Dressing up vintage collectibles and selling them on consignment can be a profitable side business.

Your local deli owner has a great idea there with selling vintage playbills framed right from his deli. Gets me thinking about setting up consignment sales of vintage playbills, since I don’t own a deli, at a local restaurant.
