Northwest based autograph collectors
Aside from the already-mentioned great collector/great fella Ralph Winnie, here are a few more significant early Northwest-based autograph collectors.
Gary Boyker
Mike Malast
Jim Greubel
Dave Voorhees
Gary Dalbey
Boyker started collecting in the 1940s, and the others from the 1950s-1970s. All built impressive and interesting collections.
Also worth mentioning is former PCL player Stan Gray, who played minor league ball from 1941-1951 in the West and NW, and started collecting in the late 1920s from his home town of Pasadena, CA.
A baseball lifer, Stan assembled an astounding collection of period-signed Burke photos in the 1930s, and thousands of other autographs in other formats. Of course, a number of these stellar items now reside in the collections of Net54 members.
