Anyone else retain convention badges, etc.?

I’ve posted this elsewhere, but thought this was sorta neat and that I’d share it here. Pictured is EVERY lanyard, wrist ban, badge, pass, ticket, button, pin, for EVERY game convention I’ve ever ended. My first was at West Point’s Point Con in 1993 where we role played a musketeer like adventure. My first convention game, using second edition.

Yes, badges for Gen Con going back sometime, somewhere and a few program books too.

Yikes. Nope, I throw them away usually before I leave the convention!

I hang onto mine. Keep em in a shoe box.

 

[MNblockhead]

Nope, I toss them. I'm not much of a collector.

I held onto them for a little while, but eventually I just started to toss them after the show. Too late to turn back now!

Never been to any cons but a lot of concerts and I've kept most of my stubs over the last 35 years. It's fun to pull them out and look through them once in a while as I always remember something about the show. So, I can relate to saving them for nostalgias sake and would imagine it's the same for con badges.

Since we started going back to the local con, I have several hanging by the lanyard by where I store my d&d stuff.
