Can a Star Wars collectors club meetup really be a life-changing event?

For the podcast’s milestone 200th episode, join host David Quinn for a look back at RonCon 2, an unforgettable 2017 meetup in the Hudson Valley area of New York.

Hosted by Ron Salvatore, RonCon offered members of the Empire State Star Wars Collectors Club the opportunity to spend time with other Star Wars collectors and to tour one of the best vintage Star Wars collections in the galaxy.

But why was this day so special?

What does a collectors meetup offer that makes it the heart and soul of the hobby? And after listening, why will you want to attend a future local club event?

This is a true celebration of Star Wars and the amazing community of fans and collectors.

And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production, episode 200!
