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. Sue www.hollywoodposterframes.com

John is pretty much correct. Movie posters is a predominantly male hobby At 11:49 AM 6/11/2012, John Waldman wrote: There's a good reason there are not that many women on MOPO, there are not that many women that collect movie posters. If you've ever gone to Cinevent you've 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? We're luck to have the ladies we have here if you ask me.

I can't figure it out. We are a great fun loving bunch of guys, and yet so few women participate on MoPo, and when a few do, like Geraldine or Diana, they seem to invariably get in LOTS of fights, and judging by the reactions of most of the posters, they make much ado about nothing.
