Reviving this thread one more time, because I now have yet another account of the legendary 1970 Aronstein convention, by another of the attendees -- Bob Jaspersen, editor/publisher of Sport Fan. It appeared in the May-June 1970 issue of Sport Fan, the first issue put out by Jaspersen following a 10-year gap due to health problems. Jaspersen lists the attendees of Aronstein's get-together and also mentions some of the other conventions that had recently happened or were planned, all of which I've written about in previous posts.
When I have time later this week, I'll post Jaspersen's series of Sport Fan articles from 1954-56 about his planned national sports collector's convention in Chicago in July 1956, and his postmortem after it fell through.
