Jimmyyou should study all aspects of the hobby to get a leg up - reading books and hobby news and viewing auctions is great to do at home. When you are out at flea markets and other shows use what you have learned. This will come the most important first step, then you can reach out to other dealers and collectors with knowledge and respect for the hobby. - and yes by the way this board is great for questions.
email me if you would like more info, I help many collectors and dealers find unique and interesting items
Take Care Jimmy
