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.

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 completed many years ago, although Eric will continue to update the catalog as necessary, and in 2026, is preparing a PDF version of the catalog for the new TLCC website.

TLCC past president and life member Norm Mikat was instrumental in assembling collections of TLCC, TCC and LCCC related memorabilia, both for the club's own collection and for Norm's personal collection (which was sold before his passing).

The first 40 items were added to the web catalog on June 27-28, 2002. The catalog includes all known souvenir items and many other items.
