Lessons From a Collector: Gail Cook

Every great collector brings their own experiences to their passion in how they build, connect, and engage a hobby. Each is unique. Few collectors have had more influence or inspired more collectors of dolls than Gail Cook. Her 45 years in the hobby has seen generational shifts in the way people buy, determine value, display and engage in the joy of collecting.  With that, Theriault's President Stuart Holbrook takes us on a journey through some of the unique ways that Gail’s vision brought about so many changes in the approach and how she became part of the shift to a new pragmatic age. This episode is a personal look at Gail’s persona, how she became such a beloved and respected figure in collecting, and the determination of her building one of the most renowned collections in the world.
