<p>[QUOTE="Histman, post: 3958347, member: 75066"]Hey there guys! Looking for your expertise on this subject. As a collector I am cursed with having an innate need to collect "everything" from a certain area. I can't just collect something because it looks cool or I like "that." This causes me a lot of heartache when I reach a point and realize I have no opportunity to complete some collection I've started. So, before I go down this road again, I want to ask about the ANA Conventions. I know they began in 1891 and have increased from one event to as many as three over the years. I have a couple of memorabilia items like the ones pictured below that I have purchased over time and it got me to wondering. Is there anything standard from these conventions that one could collect knowing that each gathering gave them out, sold them, or something like that? I know at my local show they give out an oversized wooden "coin" with the details stamped on it. Additionally, would there be a list of those items from the ANA somewhere? I have just begun my research into this and have been looking at some of the ANA Historical Sites and noticed everything from medals, to coin sets, to elongated pennies. Any help or direction in this area from our vaunted experts would be appreciated. I want to avoid the heartache again. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1042706[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
