I also realize 'some' discount me immediately because they don't think being a female I am a serious collector and buyer; they've probably had their share of wives saying 'oh, I'm just looking, it's my husband who's the real collector' but come on - it only takes a second to stop talking to the dealer behind the table and acknowledge me.</p><p> </p><p>My final thought on some of these dealers is they were long time collectors who decided to sell off their collections but never acquired the people skills to do so.
