| For a short period of time I corresponded with a girl from Encino, CA.
I was helping her locate some 1951 Topps Ringside boxing cards. She was working
on the set. I could only imagine her and her "valley girl" friends comments as
they viewed her boxing card collection ....
"... like these radical boxing cards are like totally awesome ... like this ones
got a bitchin bod ... oh look at this one ... like barf me out totally !!!"
In eight years, thats the only female collector I ever dealt with.

| -I guess our mothers collecting cards for their own seemingly innocent
reasons wouldn't count, would it? A friend of mine's mother took,
I mean collected, all of his cards, and for punishment, slid every
one of them before his eyes into the crack between their wall and
their fireplace. I still want to break down and blat whenever I
think of it.

Whoa! Where does that lady live? The cards are probably still
in the crack and in better condition than lots of mine. Let's bop
on over there this weekend with masonry drills and sledge hammers.

| This guy's parents live in Conn., and I've already told him that
if his parents ever sell their house, that I want first crack at
it. Imagine pulling a '69 Jackson out of a wall in the year 2001.
It would surely brighten my day! PM.

| I'm not a collector myself, but my boy friend is an avid collector.
So, I look at this notesfile once in awhile and tell him of anything
that he might be interested in. He is interested in all Tiger Baseball
collectables. I'm finding that this is a really interesting hobby.
I've come a long way since the first time I went to a baseball card
convention and thought that it was crazy to pay over $1,000+ for a
Wagner card(that wasn't even in a mint condition). Of course my
comment at the time was "how can anyone pay that much for a piece
of paper". Who knows, maybe someday, I'll be the one sho starts looking
for baseball card shops at every town that I visit....

Come on ladies there have got to be more of us out there. I shudder
to think that only the guys can collect cards. I understand that
no one has actually said it but that is the impression that I have
gotten from the shops around my town. It is fun when I know more
about a particular card and a guy does not believe me, but when
they check it out they are impressed.
I know that not every place is like this but the men have got to
realize that this is not a boys hobby anymore!

| Hey Bonnie, Welcome. You can see how long ago I started this topic and
how little response there's been. Maybe more women will collect when
more women are featured in sports cards. I do see more and more woman
dealers at these shows, though, and a lot of them seem to be
independent rather than just helping out hubby.

| I love to collect! Trying to complete a George Brett card collection
with a good friend, that was started over a year ago. Only have about
7 cards to go. I hope to get George to sign a few and a baseball I have
(with his picture) this year when the Royals play the A's. Also collect KC
pins! One day I would love to see a game played at Royals Stadium in
KC.
