Here is the program from the 1971 Midwest Sports Collectors Convention (the Detroit show). I posted Mike Anderson's description of that show from Ballcard Collector here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=218371. There's lots of interesting stuff here, including a description and pictures of the first Detroit show the previous year, and a couple of newspaper articles about it. (I posted about that 1970 Detroit show here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=218560.) There are also newspaper articles about Crawford Foxwell's 1971 Mid-Atlantic show (described in The Trader Speaks here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showpos...1&postcount=14), and Ed Broder's 1971 Anaheim show (which I posted about here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=219119). And of course the bios of the attendees are interesting.

I didn't scan the ads, partly to keep the number of images in this post to 18, and partly because most of them aren't that interesting (ads for a baseball trivia game, a sports museum looking for a home, "wanted to buy" ads, and bare-bones ads for hobby publications). In the first comment I'll post a couple of ads that have to do directly with cards, including one from Mike Aronstein's pre-TCMA company.
