Cool Vintage Convention Programs!

Picked these up in a recent collection purchase. Great memories of a different time in our hobby. (I was at the Plymouth National but not the 71 Show - I'm not quite that old....) (Not for sale) Some nice autographs inside and on the cover. Great content inside as well. Since it attached sideways, I'll list off the signers on the cover - Lloyd Toerpe, Carol Toerpe (Show hosts), Mike Berkus, Lew Lipset, Gavin Riley, Frank Barning, Vivian Barning & Jim Beckett.

Per a request, I've posted the pics of the floor plan and dealer list. I remember being set up with friends Larry Bennett and Kent Anderson in the top right corner next to Berkus, Riley and Brunner. (can't believe I actually remembered that!)

Nice! I have both of those programs and a bunch of others. Here is coverage of the 1981 National in Baseball Hobby News:

And here is most of the interior of the 1971 Detroit program:

I've posted this before. The cover and floor plan for the 1991 Anaheim National. I used the floor plan to track down and meet Leon.

The first show I attended (I saved the program and the button). Several well-known hobby names were there (including a 14-year-old Keith Olbermann).

Here are the tickets for each of the three days of that first ASCCA show.

I have no memory of tickets at all. But I guess if my dad paid, he would have gotten the tickets, because I'm sure I would have saved them if I got them!
