I would certainly welcome more posts from female collectors (and particularly
used to enjoy Sue Heim's thoughtful posts and anecdotes).
Over the last few years, I feel MOPO has become more boorish, laddish and more
like a listings service than a poster discussion group.
Scandals (and any opportunity for a bit of one-upmanship between the Big
Beasts) have generated some non-sales related threads, but there have been less
and less discussions about the actual art, practice and business of collecting
vintage movie posters.
That said, once in while, the list does still burst to life with some terrific
thread that demonstrates that there are some incredibly knowledgeable and smart
people on here and that it's a fun hobby to be involved with. But this happens
much less frequently.

I think what Rich is saying is correct. I've been a movie poster collector for
over 39 years and have been an active member of the hobby also. Now, as the
framer to the hobby, I would say that may for every 500 male collectors of
posters, there is 1 femaile. In fact, we have a running story line around here
when the guys come in to frame. The question is usualy, "how many will your
wife let you hang up"? We are out there, but it is still a very predominantly
male hobby.

I disagree, I have a good few women on my client list...they like films and
movie posters as much as guys...they just dont collect a huge amount women tend
to get a handful of posters they like and thats it.

John is pretty much correct.
Movie posters is a predominantly male hobby

There's a good reason there are not that many women on MOPO, there are not that

probably noticed that there are just a hand full of ladies in attendance
(buyers). So why would there be a larger percentage of women on MOPO than what
there is?
