Hello visitor!
This site is dedicated to the joys of SWAG Collecting!
“What is SWAG?”, you may ask?
“SWAG” is an acronym for “Stuff We All Get.”
The term was coined to describe an item (usually free) given as incentive, reward or promotion to an attendee of a special event.
At a comic book convention, the “Stuff” in “Stuff We All Get” frequently is bastardized into encompassing ANY item (including non-exclusives & everyday items) obtained at the event.
When referring to “SWAG” on this site, the term will falls into one (or more) of the following categories…
- Event exclusives- paid or free
- Signed non-exclusives
- Free, non-exclusives (sometimes)
The one thing SWAG does NOT include, is paid, non-exclusives…
I’ve collected SWAG for many years, and for the last six years, I’ve chronicled my hobby on the twitter account, @SWAGCollector.
If you already follow me, you should have a good idea of what SWAG Collecting is all about! If not, take a look…
My goal is to make this blog a fun place for convention-goers, collectors and others to check-out some of the awesome going-ons surrounding SWAG found (mostly) at conventions, such as WonderCon, New York Comic Con, and the granddaddy of all comic book conventions, San Diego Comic Con!
To be honest, I tried the “blog thing” a couple years ago, but got side-tracked… I plan to be much more committed this time…
If you notice a long lag between posts, feel-free to call me out for being a slacker!
Once I get a grip on blogging, this is gonna be a lot of fun!
At least for me…
But hopefully, for you too!
Thanks for reading!
Next update, coming soon!
