Thanks a lot for the quick responses and good advice everyone. Someone earlier mentioned the book Mint Condition, kind of odd because I actually just finished reading it.
As far as graded vs. ungraded cards, being a novice to the vintage cards, it would probably be wise to stick to the graded cards for now. Not because I care too much for the way the grading works, because a lot of the time, I see cards that are 2s and 3s, that look more appealing to the eye than cards that are 4s and 5s. I am certainly no expert, but I would rather have a card that is easier on the eye than to get another card just because of a higher grade. I think buying graded at first though would at least make me a little more comfortable that the card is the real thing.
Keep the responses coming. I love hearing the suggestions from those that have a lot more experience than I do.
