This is NOT a reproduction!!

Note: This is a regular Playbill size program.

Condition is near excellent with minor wear.

CONDITION:   I use a six-step condition scale to describe the overall paper quality:  Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.  Good means just that:  desireable for a collection with no immediate need to upgrade.  Excellent and Mint are usually reserved for publisher and music store remainders.  Expect Good-minus and Fair to have considerable wear.  All specific condition faults are noted after the general condition.

IMAGES:   I use a digital camera so the entire piece is visible.  

BILLING:    Please note:  The eBay automated end-of-auction notice is NOT my invoice.  I personally invoice 1-3 days after closing.   I combine multiple wins, add fair postage and handling, and insurance if necessary or at your request.  I ship in specially designed cardboard mailers.    Payment is expected promptly.  

International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.  Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
