Does anyone know where I could buy sleeves or something similar for preserving playbills. I use the official binders but they are quite expensive and was just wondering if anyone knew of any less costly alternatives
You can buy sets of sleeves on the Playbillstore.com. These are a bit pricey as well, it is $7.95 for 6 sleeves. I find it worth the price, though, to keep my playbills in a good condition.
Theatre is my life. No one can take that away from me.
You can use the official binders. I have one for all of the playbills that I get from when I go to see a show since they mean a little bit more to me. For other playbills (like ones that I get in the mail). I use the little binders from stapes/office max I believe they are the 1/2 inch ones. They also sell sleeves for those binders in a pack of 25. The binder is about 5 dollars as are the sleeves. It's a great savings compared to the playbill official binder and it works just as well!

@spicegirlsaloud - Go to Staples or Office Max ... they sell both the playbill sized binders and sleeves for a really good price. They sleeves (I bought) came in a pack of 20. I don't pay over 25 bucks for everything! Hope that helps : )
If you live near an Archivers store (or, perhaps, any scrapbooking store) you can get nice books to place your collection. With plastic sleeves which won't harm the paper over time.
