[pct-l] Time for a replica PCT Marker?

[pmags at yahoo.com (Paul Magnanti)]

There was talk a few months ago that the PCTA was in
the works of making a replica trail marker. I believe
Greg had some info about this previously. Any further
word on the replicas?

I know the diamond AT replica marker sells well for
the ATC; suspect a replica PCT marker would sell well
for the PCTA. Besides providing some revenue for the
PCTA it would also help eliminate people "poaching"
the existing ones still on the PCT. If a person can
buy a replica marker for $5, the market for the real
McCoy may be lessened. And there is the simple reason
that many people (myself included!) would love to have
an old style marker that was legally and simply
acquired.

In the mean time, I have a good pic of an old style
marker at
