GenCon Brochures

Hey, is there any interest out there in convention programs? I see that there are a few posted here at the Tome. I recently got a few GenCon/Origins '88 pre-registration brochures - pretty cool.

Is there any value to them? I imagine a couple of dollars, though I have never really looked into it.

They're wonderful resources for research, but most are not worth much. The earlier ones are worth something. I'd guess the value cut-off around 1982.

While organizing and shifting through the last of my IFW International Wargamer Supplements, I found what should considered the 3rd annual Lake Geneva Convention brochure. Gotta be like the first one I think they made other than a listing of events in their earlier zines and supplements.

I love these things and have always bought them if I got a chance. I would like to try to get these in the research forums in the not-to-distant future.

I've added a couple. It's really hard work to get everything down.

The Hibbs Bros. have or have had a great collection of those.

We still have some around here someplace. Most aren't very old though. The best thing about the prgrams is the info on tournaments.

We also have quite a few GenCon t-shirts.
