I've noticed we have a Shelly and an Amy posting. Does this mean Julie is no longer the only the female board member? |

Shelly could be short for Sheldon...but Amy is pretty much a lock name for a woman. |

If this Board is going to get a sudden influx of women, Im going to note for the record that Im not geeky. Unless, that is, collecting bb cards is an automatic qualifier. If so, dont tell my wife. |

Josh- vintage card collecting no longer is the turn-off to women that it once was and most collectors aren't perceived as geeky anymore. I think when the prices of cards like the T206 Wagner began surfacing to the Melissas and Tiffanys and Brittanys of the world, a new attitude surfaced. I guess a lot of them think we all have Honuses hidden away in our safes or in our portfolios. (I think comic book collectors, even golden age book collectors, still suffer from the "they are geeky" attitude from women though). |

I used to be one of those guys that collected those donruss cards and my wife used to make fun of me all the time saying that I was stuck at age 12. Once I started collecting pre-war she changed her mind saying at least these cards have history behind them. Now my collection is no different than buying an old basket - to her. She actually evens likes to learn about the history of baseball and the players on those old pieces of cardboard. She doesn't understand why I pay the money that I do but she quickly changes her mind when I sell one of them |

I hope my post conveyed that I was only kidding - Im not really too worried about what others think of collecting bb cards - I enjoy it, so Im good. The funny thing is, while my wife doesnt find it odd that I collect cards, I dont think she really knows how much these little things cost. If she finds out, my collection may start shrinking:) |

selling my smoke damaged and once very gently taped near rookie Ruth, and there were a lot of women in line, and all of them were interested in the card. They all knew about the big fat guy on spindly legs who hit all the home runs, but they were fascinated by Ruth the pitcher. Also, when I told them what a M101-4 (not 5) would bring in mint condition. |
