Luther Playbill from April 1964

Sold: $9.99 Fees: $2.30 Profit: $7.69

I bought a large lot of vintage theatre programs at an auction a few years ago. I got the whole lot for only $1, so I wasn't too concerned about it. I listed a couple dozen but never had much interest, and this was the first sale. Thankfully this sale alone puts me into a profit. I'll likely just lot the others up into a number of lots and sell them cheaply just to move them. Glad to see this one sell at least.
