The guys on here are a HUGE help; but do yourself a big favor and get Vince Malta's Complete Guide to Louisville Sluggers.
Be very, very careful when you buy stuff. The tiniest detail can make all the difference between a legit gamer and a store model.
Do lots and lots of research. Ask lots of questions.
But have fun! To me, there is absolutely nothing like handling a bat that you know Joe DiMaggio once used, or Wade Boggs (hi Ben).
I walk into my baseball room all the time randomly, and just pick up some vintage lumber. I love it.
You never know whose bat will pop up next.
