Often times at this incredible convention, you see many like-minded old friends and fellow fans. Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Con also promotes such groups as the National Capital Radio and Television Museum in Bowie Maryland, The Metro Washington Old Time radio Club The Theatre Preservation Society, and more. Glad this display was encased, it would not be good to have anyone grab that Buck Rogers ray gun and start shooting, and no one really wants to clean up after the room is sprayed with lethal reddish emissions with its lighting effects and laser beam spread all over everything.Īlso here at this show is a group called Radio Once More, which broadcasts the best in old time radio and nostalgia via the internet and pod casting. There were Buck Rogers memorabilia out to see such as some early Pulp magazines to ray guns to advertising artifacts pages from the 1930’s comic book and much more. There was an awesome display put out at a huge table of Buck Rogers items by a group called The Solar Guard Fan Club and The Radio and Television Museum of Baltimore.
MID ATLANTIC NOSTALGIA CONVENTION TV
Other dealers were selling so many nostalgia items and collectables, such as rare and unique classic films and TV shows on DVD, toys, photo’s, posters, classic magazines and books, and any almost anything you could think of in this realm.
I offered a diverse variety of stuff, like Star Trek collector plates, models, nostalgic toys, autographs and more.
MID ATLANTIC NOSTALGIA CONVENTION MOVIE
I was lucky myself to be one of the photographers for this event, and I snapped some really cool photos, of fans, guest stars, dealers, and all around fan fun! Plus I was able to have a dealers table and shared this space selling some of my own collectables with my buddy Marty who was selling some great full size movie posters and more. For a reasonable fee, you could talk and then have an item that a guest was selling on their table or bring some collectable you owned to be hand signed in person by them, and snap a photo of you standing with them to show off your new autographed item!Īll guests were asking about the same fee, however, Davy Jones on the other hand signed for FREE, if you brought your own item, and charged a nominal fee if you purchased one at his table! Yes yes, these guest stars also signed tons of autographs. Incredible line up, I know!! These guests had so many fans at their signing tables to chat as we remember their roles they portrayed. This September the convention featured, Patty Duke, Tony Dow, Davy Jones, Michael Constantine, Billy Gray, Lauren Chapin, Jimmy Hunt, Charles Herbert, Ed Nelson, Jim Rosin, Mark Redfield, Conrad Brooks, Larry Storch and Karen Valentine! These guests I am about to list for your viewing pleasure, you are sure to remember, and to get a chance to actually meet them, too cool! I mean, far out. Too cool, gee wizzzz, and golly, I can’t wait to get their autograph!!!! So many of us enjoy meeting and reacquainting with fellow genre attendees and nostalgia buffs of all ages races, and various home worlds!Ĭonversations of the most sublime and true to a classic yet upbeat rhythm, as only we at this “Con” can understand and talk about those glorious TV shows from the late 50’s to yesterday’s gone by.Īnd, yet with all this…….you still have the guest star celebrities there to get up close and converse with, after all these years. Martin has penned many books in this genre, and is a fine published author in this area. Martin Grams has this passion to take our love of nostalgic television, and films, actors and actresses, science fiction, artists, dealers, collectors, autograph seekers, fans from here and out of this realm as well, and allows us to meet celebrities of yesteryear, and chat with them, snap photos, and get that hand singed autograph. However, you are not allowed to call it MANC, unless you have attended! The incredible classic and unique Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Convention, or MANC as it is called, landed back in Baltimore for 2011, and what a show it was indeed!
