Not trying to split hairs with you Keith ... but quoting from the attachment you provided, this is the true nature of the "show" ... not a "convention".

"The ANA Coin, Stamp & Collectibles Show in Las Vegas is sponsored by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation and is held in conjunction with the Las Vegas Antique Arms Show™."

In other words, the ANA is giving its endorsement to this show for payment received. It would be like the local Las Vegas Casino Collectibles Club having a "show" and calling it a CC & GTCC "Convention".

Not to be argumentive, but there is a legitimate distinction between the two terms ("show" & "convention").

No offense Keith, but if folks attending this event are expecting to experience an ANA Convention ... they are going to be sorely disappointed.
