FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS:
Collecting/Collectibles Area
Popular Culture Association 2006 Convention
April 12-16, 2006
Atlanta, GA

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.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: November 1, 2005 Please contact me, either by email at
rcbsam@comcast.net or by phone at 302-239-6367 if you have any questions. You
can email me your abstracts at rcbsam@comcast.net. For those who wish to mail
