I think you will find as you move forward completing a set to your satisfaction, you will always - I repeat always - end up with duplicates (especially the commons). These you could use to trade, or sale, to continue funding your chase for set completion. When it gets down to a few cards you can always use sites such as ebay to complete the set.
What part of the country do you live in? I ask because you may find a vintage collector on this forum willing to sell some of their duplicates or trade to get you guys off on the right foot.
I realize you already know what I stated above, so I'll just say welcome and have fun! You two will enjoy the ride together!

I appreciate it! Even if I know something, doesn't hurt to hear it reinforced to match what I thought. Learn new things that way instead of shutting people out.
I live in South Texas on the gulf coast. I do travel all over the state with my son playing baseball, camping etc. I am open to meeting people for trades or chats when passing through!
