I invite you to submit papers on any aspect of collecting or 
collectibles for
the 2006 Popular Culture Association conference to be held April 12-16, 
2006 at
the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta, Georgia.

Topics include (but are certainly not limited to): why we collect, the
psychology of collecting, the popularity of collecting, collecting and the
media, or a particular collectible, collector, or collection. Recent PCA 
panels
have truly expanded the exploration of collecting. I look forward to more
thought-provoking ideas next year.

Please send a 150-word abstract (including title and contact 
information) to me
either via email or regular mail at the addresses listed below. You can 
send the
abstract as either a Word attachment or in the body of an email. Authors of
accepted abstracts will be notified by January 1, 2006.
