SLU National Collectors Convention
Starting in 1994 Kenner promoted an Annual Starting Lineup Collectors Convention in Cincinnati. They added a couple of cities over the years eventually featuring a annual East, West, and Midwest convention plus a Southern Convention. At these conventions Kenner displayed the latest SLU products, answered questions, and artist demonstrated the production process.
Most of the conventions were Saturday & Sunday and admission tickets were $5 a day. Dealers and officials wore these laminated badges at different conventions to identify themselves.

Starting in 1995 Kenner sold a Special Convention only Figure at each show. The figures were usually limited to 5,000, and at later conventions a limited edition variation was raffled off for charity. And at select conventions signed one-of-a-kind prototypes with a certificate of authenticity were also auctioned for charity...
