Default Was there much in the way of Pacific Coast League items at The National?

Posted By: Mark Macrae

Considering the diversity of material offered / sought after at the National, the Pacific Coast League was pretty well represented . Collectively there were a few thousand pre 1957 cards, including the largest offering of (complete) T-4's I can ever recall seeing at a National....Keep in mind all but 2 were on display for Sotheby's fall auction..... There were also several dozen programs, and a good selection of photos , including Lelands incredible new find... Keep in mind Patrick, that there were more Home Run Kisses for sale at this National than there were at the first National I attended ('83 in Chicago).... As Griffins correctly points out, the annual PCL reunions (One in Southern California in May, the other in Oakland is on August 12th) will bring out a far greater selection of PCL material than other regional / National shows. Another factor to consider is that much of the BEST material is walking the room in briefcases or transacts discreetly. Not every collector welcomes the intrusion of onlookers
