These are all commercially sponsored
one-day sales events and cons that mainly use media personalities
to attract fans who are collectors of media promotion material.
Such events have their place but I do not class them with conventions
organised by fans. The roles performed by actors and the jobs
done by other guests have been omitted. (You should know what
they have done!) :-) Authors
are notable for their scarcity in this listing!
