Go to a sports card store that sells vintage and buy a couple of commons from all years you're interested in. Then touch them. Feel the fronts, feel the backs. See how flimsy/springy they are. Get a price guide. For mid-grade vintage cards, it's not going to be too awful to bound the high side of pricing.
Look at COMC.com ; there are millions of vintage cards for sale and you can judge various conditions and have them all shipped together. You can see the pricing discrepancies between VG, EX, and NM cards and figure out which fits your budget. You can see how writing on cards, creases, or off-centeredness affects sales prices.
