Introduction — Catalog Numbering System for TLCC Memorabilia
The Tacoma-Lakewood Coin Club (TLCC) was founded in 1988 by the merger of the former Tacoma Coin Club (founded in 1957) and the Lakewood Center Coin Club (founded in 1963). These three distinct clubs issued a large number of memorabilia items over the years, mostly related to coin shows and banquets. Many of the items were wooden nickels, however there are also a number of other kinds of items, such as banquet favors containing coins.
TLCC past president and life member Norm Mikat has been instrumental in assembling collections of TLCC, TCC and LCCC related memorabilia, both for the club's own collection and for Norm's personal collection.

Mikat speaking about the club's history and memorabilia collection
at the May 7, 2002 TLCC regular meeting. The club's memorabilia
collection is photographed and cataloged on this web site. The first
40 items were added to the web catalog on June 27-28, 2002. The
catalog now includes all available souvenir items and other items. |
At the TLCC April 2002 business meeting, the TLCC board voted to contract with J. Eric Holcomb to prepare a photographic catalog of the TLCC memorabilia collection. (Eric previously cataloged the PNNA memorabilia collection.) Work began in June 2002, and has now completed, although Eric will continue to update the catalog as necessary. The catalog is available on this web site, and will also eventually be available on CD and in printed form.

| Many of these items were made and distributed in very limited quantities, and are difficult to obtain, although there are also a number of more common items.
