Default Joann is the person
We are referring to

There have always been female collectors -- but they are few and far between in proportion to male collectors. Back when I was at Beckett, the highest percentage of women collectors were hockey collectors.

I remember Renata Galasso coming up in the 1970s and being a force in the hobby in the 1980s.

We have a couple in OBC, one active and one inactive, who have been in the group for a number of years and are enthusiastic vintage collectors

If any of you out there(and I know there are many) Have the book Smithsonian Baseball One woman that comes to mind for me is Penny Marshall. Pennys collection is a very bizarre mix of some of the sports strangest relics! But as we all know one persons strange is anothers gold!

Here are 4 of the gals that come to my mind, who are serious BB card collectors......

Joann Kline

Betty........who used to chime in on Net54, particularly on our T206 threads.

Kim Vida....a young gal from NJ (and close friend) that was a collector/dealer/show promoter
that ran BB card shows with guests Bobby Thomson and Gerry Dvorak (1953 Topps artist).

Vivian Barning....most of you are quite well aware of her amazing vintage BB card collection.

Penny Marshall (Laverne of Laverne and Shirley fame) apparently has an impressive basketball collection.

I wonder if a stream of sexist comments like those on this thread turn off many potential women who would be interested.

Julie sold her entire collection through REA a few years back. She was very knowledgeable and a good contributor here. I believe she is more or less out of the hobby now.

Default My dear friend Audre Gold
Who is no longer with us, was actually the driving force in AU Sports in Chicago. She was the BOSS of that store, no doubt about that
