Metro L.A. [L.A., Ventura, Orange counties] is a bastion of regional Dodgers baseball card collecting esp. Morrell, Bell, Mothers Cookies, and the oil/gas issues from the PCL era, and very strong as well for team and local issue Dodgers stuff. I probably see more of that material from L.A. based collectors than anywhere else. Some of the members here have fantastic Los Angeles-related baseball collections.
NoCal is the overall hotbed of general PCL collecting.
I've run into more ex-Brooklyn Dodgers fans from Florida than anywhere else, which is not surprising given their ages. Buncha snowbirds.
I'd say the Midwest and Northeast are the best overall collector regions just based on the number of regional shows and support for them. We can't even get a decent show to sustain in SoCal.
