barrysloateI think it would be easier if someone posed a question, and then the experts in that field answered it in some detail. I feel I know books and early photography really well, but I know virtually nothing about equipment.
I also recommend getting as many back issues of VCBC as you can (Leon has a bunch of them on his site). That magazine had a greater focus on memorabilia than Old Cardboard, which is almost exclusively devoted to baseball cards.
