2022 American Political Items Collectors National Convention in RENO

3800 South Virginia Street,Reno NV 89502

22 July, 2022

Description

Largest Political Memorabilia and Pop Culture show & sale in the US will be held at the Atlantis Casino Resort in Reno on July 22-23. Hundreds of collectors from around the country will converge at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno (NV) on July 22-23 for the 2022 American Political Items Collectors (APIC) National Convention. Thousands of political memorabilia, pop culture, and historical items will be available for sale and on display. The public can attend the convention for free on Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23. Not only can they get free appraisals of their political items, but they can also offer their collections for possible live auctions. An exhibit room with rare memorabilia of political campaigns and American history will also be on display. The APIC will hold members-only meetings, seminars, and other events earlier in the week before the National Convention opens to the public. Political memorabilia range from campaign buttons, advertising pinbacks, posters, textiles, automobile attachments, inaugural souvenirs, photographs, ribbons, social justice and cause items, patriotic flags, and even pop culture collectibles. Their value ranges from purely sentimental to thousands of dollars. But the most important aspects of these types of memorabilia are their historical background, authenticity, and condition. While the APIC has previously hosted eight regional events in Reno, this marks the first time it will hold a National Convention in the city—its 18th nationwide gathering. The nonprofit collector organization was founded in 1945 and has a following of about 1,500 people nationwide. APIC members often collaborate with the Smithsonian Institution, presidential libraries, and higher education to promote the understanding of American politics using the artifacts of political campaigns. The APIC’s mission is to promote the collection, preservation, and study of materials relating to political campaigns and other historical events.
