Is it just me, or....
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">...Has anyone noticed that one individual seems to be caught in the endless loop of a 1970's 8-Track, recanting the nauseating, misleading rhetoric of of a so-called 'convention' wannabe in Missouri that touts a no-membership, no registration-fee admission? Of course there is no fee for a small group of people to hang out for an unscripted gathering at a generous factory where no events, no gathering halls displaying personal collections, and no included banquet/dinner is included. Does anyone truly find that comparable to stopping by the local Arby's or Waffle House enroute to self-host a sumptuous bag-lunch and call that a 'convention'? </span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As mentioned by others, the VCCC provides opportunities to see numerous parts of the country visiting various personal collections, gather in a common hotel for multiple days of discussion and learning, and hang with like-minded people from all over the US, even attracting collectors from other countries. All this continually makes for a true convention remembered and recounted during the year until its successor convention launches.</span>
The VCCC clearly owes a debt of gratitude to early, founding members, many of which in good standing continue to attend and support their legacy, and we continue to appreciate you!
