Are you Male or Female Forum Member

Yes - my husband holds this account, but there are females out there that collect and follow your posts. A short introduction: My name is Kristin Buckler, I am a female and I collect! (I have met some of you at the Net54 dinners held at the Nationals)

My husband Chris and I collect together and are dealers. He does handle the buying, but we both share a love for 1907 Tigers, 19th century to 1900's Louisville players, as well as, tobacco packs and tobacco advertising pieces. Of course our collection expands to include many other players and teams but our primary love is Cobb and t206's. We battle at times over our favorite players and their stories, but we enjoy the ultimate hunt for the obscure.

I have personally had the opportunity to meet female collectors that range from newbies to knowledgeable hobbyist. In fact we recently sold a Novelty Cutlery Lajoie SGC 4 to a female this past year whom is a Cleveland collector. We also work closely with another female that is working to compile an E & T set collection for her 2 boys. She attempts to complete 1 set per year of their birth....I wish my Mom would have done this for me.

Yes, this is primarily a boys club, but don't discount the women that are in the hobby who enjoy the chase. They may not be on the boards or they may not feel comfortable enough to post, but we are here and we are buying just like you!

p.s. - Thanks Andrew for the love! See you in Chicago

Surely you jest. Don't call me Shirley.

Perhaps some of the men should consider collecting Olympic memorabilia. Our group has a lot of men with the dutiful accompanying wives, but there are also some women members. It must have something to do with collecting shiny things - the pins. There are even a couple of them who collect and their husbands are not interested in the stuff. Be sure to drop by our Olympic area at the National this year. I collect original photographs of American Olympians and buy and sell Olympic autographs. I don't get the pin thing. A friend and I call them skeet, as in shooting.
