After posting Baseball Hobby News's coverage of the first National Sports Collectors' Convention in Anaheim in 1980, I was looking through BHN's coverage of the second National in Detroit, in the August 1981 issue, and I figured I might as well post that too. There are lots of photos, but more articles than the previous year, including descriptions of all the seminars. Lots of interesting stuff here, and it brings me back. I didn't go to that convention (my first National would be 1993 in Chicago), but I was 15 years old in 1981 and probably at the peak of my youthful collecting.
