PCL card and/or memorabilia websites or books?

[markf31]

I know in previous threads, the topic of books on the PCL has been discussed and some great books have been suggested but I have not been able to find previous discussions of PCL websites or books that are dedicated to, or have content relating to PCL cards and memorabilia. Are there any out there?

No books specifically on PCL cards / memorabilia, but a few stand out that contain great illustrations to accompany the story line... Nuggets on the Diamond & Grand Minor League by Dick Dobbins, who used his extensive collection to season the chapters..... Runs, Hits and An Era by Mark Medeiros accompanied the two year (1994-95) tour of a great PCL themed exhibit at several West Coast Museums. These books can be found online for a nominal price. In addition, a small booklet (magazine format) was produced for the 2009 San Francisco Airport Museum's exhibit of PCL artifacts. Much harder to locate as these were only available by request at the airport's museum. It includes uniforms from each of the 8 primary cities, plus bats, awards and some great 'smalls'...... Most websites that feature the PCL are related to it's pre 1958 history. A few collector run sites that picture the personal collections of the host....

Lew Lipset's The Encyclopedia Of Baseball Cards has a good bit of info on our PCL cards. Something about most pre-war pcl cards....at least with an ACC number.
