I have been fascinated by autographs since I was 9 in 1964 and got Bobby Hull's autograph (which I have lost) at a Men's Club function that my father brought me to. It just recently occurred to me that I have never met a female autograph collector. Anyone have an idea why that is? Is it autographs or collecting in general? Is it that men are the hunters and gatherers?

There are quite a few women on the forum here :)

Good to know. Maybe the women are just avoiding me, like they always have!

I do think there are a lot more guys in it than gals, but there are some really strong gal collectors on the forum too.  Maybe some more will pop in to say hello! :)

well I am popping in all the way from England ,where I cannot sleep, to say hello Ben.  I am A   FEMALE !!!!!!   

Hi, Michelle. I have been interested in autographs for 50 years. I've been to many estate sales, charity auctions and collectors' homes. I can't recall a single female collector. I'm very glad to know you're out there. May I ask what types of autographs capture your interest?

Historical documents & autographs,  old style Holywood movie stars like Bergman, Hepburn , Astaire, and 60s - 80s pop.  

Nice

Those are very interesting questions Ben.  I have never considered them before.

Hi Mike, From the replies I'm getting it appears there are more women involved than I thought.
Hi Ben, my wife and daughter are both sports fans. We have great fun collecting together. My daughter graduated from college in December and now works in the hobby. There are a number of items in our collection that my wife would call "hers", and my daughter recently bought her first item.
Hi Rich,
I'm glad to hear women are involved. My sons and I are huge sports fans, too, but I've never had much interest in sports autographs. The few I've bought were under pressure from my boys. My main interest has been in music and entertainment. Not sure why, maybe because I used to be a decent athlete but have no musical talent, so I have more admiration for musicians.
