Ok this thread is awesome. I can’t believe nobody has a Manon Rheaume yet. I personally do not have one to show off.

However, my wife won two NCAA tennis championships, and I made her sign her tennis racket she used in the final a few years ago because there might be a crazy person like all of us in 100 years that wants it. Haha.

You all are the best.

I like this thread. Unfortunately I am without scanner presently.

But I realize I have a pretty significant ladies collection going back to the 1920s.

Gymnastics, hockey, track, skating, swimmers, basketball, golfers, tennis and a full set of autographed 1994 women's soccer team (Akers, Hamm, Lilly, Jennings, Hamilton and Foudy, all Hall of Famers )

With a few of my favorite LA Sparks—Alana Beard (2017 and 2018 defensive player of the year) and Nneka Ogwumike (2016 WNBA MVP).

Since last flurry...

I've got a ton of Helen Wills cards from the 1920s-1930s, mostly from Germany, Italy, France, England. I spent a long time hunting down boxing cards and many were a part of multisport sets. She was, apparently, quite the tennis player because she appeared in many of the sets.

Let's not forget 19th century women:
