Hello; I'm new to this message board. Former New Yorker now living in Las Vegas. I'm cataloging my 50 year (1955 - 2005) Broadway Playbill collection which which includes vintage playbills including "Plain and Fancy" at the Mark Hellinger Theater/1955.""Middle of the Night" with Edward G. Robinson/late 50's, the musical, "Whoop Up"/ late 50's, "Bells Are Ringing" with Judy Holliday's signature on the cover/ late 50's, "Oh, Captain!' with Tony Randall & Abbey Lane/late 50's,  thru the 60's: "Bye Bye  Birdie," "Funny Girl" at Boston's Shubert Theater/pre-B'way opening/1963, to "Hair"/mid 70's: "Promises, Promises,""Follies," "Company", first preview performance of the original production of "Chicago" with Gwen Verdon & Chita Rivera, "Little Me" with Sid Caesar, "Sweet Charity" with Gwen Verdon, "Hello Dolly" with Ginger Rogers and also Pearl Bailey's "Hello Dolly", to both productions of the musical, "9"/80's original with Raul Julia and 2000's revival with Antonio Bandaras & Chita Rivera, I also have "Carrie," the cult musical flop. The entire collection includes about 150 playbills.

Does anyone have advice on how to get an accurate appraisal for this collection. Appreciate any help you can offer.
