Collectibles -> Barware -> Shot Glasses

For the person who has everything, personalized gifts can be some of the most thoughtful, so why not choose personalized shot glasses? There are many advantages to this type of collectible item, both as a gift, and as something you collect yourself.

Personalized shot glasses are relatively inexpensive compared to some other kinds of gifts. A plain shot glass might make a nice, small gift, but a personalized shot glass suddenly becomes much more significant. The thought that goes into a personalized item will always make it stand out to the recipient, and the personalization that’s added, depending on the message or occasion, can add an even more special touch.

As collectibles and gifts, personalized shot glasses may be small in size, but that’s an advantage. How many times have you received a gift that was meant to be displayed, only to wish it were smaller? Especially for those who love to collect, size and space can be real issues. Mugs are a popular collector item, but take up much more room than shot glasses which are easier to display in smaller spaces. Even a large shot glass collection takes up far less room than almost all other types of collections.

Personalized shot glasses can be purchased with almost any logo, saying, name, initial or type of image engraved or printed on. While these can be purchased in a variety of places, often the best bargains are found in online auctions, especially when you’re ordering bulk purchases.

You might wonder why anyone would ever want to order personalized shot glasses in bulk. In a world overrun by too many things and too much stuff, small and more personalized items are becoming more popular. Plastic shot glasses can be ordered in bulk, for instance, with the names of a bride and groom and handed out at wedding receptions as inexpensive wedding favors. Family reunions, birthday gatherings, almost any kind of convention or party, are possibilities for bulk shot glass purchases.

For individual purchases, auctions can still offer great bargains. Some key things to remember when ordering collectible personalized shot glasses are to read the description and instructions carefully. Some auctions will offer personalized items that have already been engraved or printed. Some people enjoy collecting these items for their novelty value, and may have collections featuring glasses with people’s names on them, wedding or anniversary glasses, initial glasses engraved with only one letter and even personalizations that are practically undecipherable. But if you’re looking to personalize something yourself, you must be sure that’s what the auction offers.

Note if the auction is offering a choice of fonts, or just one standard type of printing. Also, look at the images available if they’re on display. If an image you want looks strange in print, it might not look much better once engraved or printed on the glass. Personalized shot glasses can also be purchased without engraving, but bearing emblems of sports teams, celebrities, countries and any type of item you can imagine.

Memorabilia -> Theater Memorabilia -> Playbills

For fans of Broadway, musicals, specific plays or actors, or entertainment in general, Broadway souvenir programs are a great collectible item. We’ve all been to a play or concert, maybe a production filled with school kids, where programs are handed out at the door. They list the names of the songs to be played or sung, or a little information about the play or musical, and all the names of the musicians, dancers and actors to appear. Broadway souvenir programs, however, are sold as you’re entering a show, rather than handed out for free.

Lots of souvenirs can be found for sale at every Broadway show. T-shirts, maybe even soundtracks for long-running shows, pictures of the cast, calendars, mugs, hats—you name it, it’s there for sale. But especially for people who attend a lot of shows and love the souvenirs, Broadway souvenir programs don’t take up much space, they’re light, and they encapsulate the entire entertainment experience in one small book.

Right at your fingertips you’ll have full color pictures from the production, a cast list with some information about each actor, information about the show itself and more. It’s a great way to remember a great performance for years to come. And if you can catch actors at the stage door, or maybe find your way to an official signing, you can have your Broadway souvenir programs autographed, giving them even more significance to you and value as part of a Broadway collection.

Some people, however, might not be interested in the Broadway show, or it might be a show that’s been closed for years, but they want Broadway souvenir programs from the productions as collector items. Whether they were a fan of the show or just an actor in it, or they’re collecting programs from the Broadway shows available during a certain period of time, the programs must be purchased from dealers or other collectors. Another option is to look for different versions of the same Broadway souvenir programs. Many long-running shows constantly update their programs, making the discovery of older versions a fun challenge for avid collectors.

For most current and recent Broadway souvenir programs, Playbill, the exclusive Broadway magazine, offers many official Broadway programs for sale online. This is a great source for those currently running or recently closed programs you’d like to add to your collection. Online auctions, as usual, are a great place to find vintage Broadway souvenir programs, with or without autographs. For those that are autographed, compare the photo of the signature carefully to one that you know is authentic.

Also, note the seller’s other inventory. Do they look suspicious because they have 40 Boy from Oz Broadway souvenir programs all supposedly signed by Hugh Jackman? Have they sold the same item before, or is the one you’re considering the only one available? What is the likelihood that one person or company has 10 programs signed by Liza Minelli? Use your good judgment when purchasing these items online.
