The Ladies Among US Is Stamp Collecting

i find it interesting that we have a fair representation of ladies here on the forum..when we go to a stamp show..there are times when my wife is the only female on the buying side of the tables..usually a dealer or two will bring his wife along for company or to assist..but very few women seem to attend the shows...perhaps woman prefer to collect on an individual basis at home..with trading partners,approvals and internet auctions....

Phil....You should have seen the Hot Babes, at the White Plains
show this weekend

Interesting you should mention that Phil, there are only two of us in our stamp club.

I think that when people think of stamp collectors they visualize an older distinguished gentleman with a magnifying glass in one hand sitting prim and proper at his desk studiously examining his treasures.

Geez, I think of guys like Arthur Hind and Count Philipe Von Ferrari competing for the worlds most valuable stamps..i guess I do not have to worry myself along those lines !!

Our stamp club has 20 members, 4 of which are ladies. I guess
we have a good ratio

Watch out...they are probably getting ready for a power play if they have not already !!

I would think that ladies would like to attend a stamp show. Especially, since most are conversationist, outgoing, and like to shop. My club has between 30-40 members and I know of 5 women whom attend the meetings quite regularly.

I would LOVE to go to a stamp show, but I live in the boonies, its so far to anything! If I find one close enough (withing a few hours) I will go.

I always thought of "stamp collectors" as the same older distingiushed gentleman that Dianne described,lol.

Now, I think of them(us) as smart, wordly, cool people!

Our club has a good representation of women. As a matter of fact, about half of the regular attendees at Club meetings are women. I have also noticed that there is a fair number of females in attendance at our annual show. Most of them however, are postcard collectors.

stef if you dont mind me asking what part of the us do you live?

I live in Eastern Ky. Tina.

Kaintuck..its not exactly a hotbed of stamp collecting..well we have one representitive now !!

Not exactly a hotbed of anything...
