Folks,
Thank you so much for all the great insight! It is much appreciated. I have a lot of learning to do and I think over time will get a better sense of the hobby and what is a "fair" price to pay for some cards. I've been trying to collect both graded and ungraded cards although I honestly prefer the raw cards unless there's a lower grade HOF that I can pick up at a reasonable price. The suggestion about monitoring previous ebay auctions is definitely a good metric although eBay seems to have smartened up and now and limit the history of completed listings unless you want to pay extra to view longer periods of time.

I also am fascinated by the mix of unique hard to find backs and that in and of itself can drive someone crazy....I'm sure it already has for some folks. Anyway, thank you again for the quick responses and great links. Looking forward to having more dialogue with the great people on this site.
