Questions from a Youngster

[Mark70Z]

You'll possibly get endless opinions on how to collect, but I'll just give my perspective.

1. I personally don't flip to gain money for my collection. I do, every once in while, sell something that no longer fits into the PC.

2. I save and have a budget for how much I spend on collecting. For me it's just a hobby so I don't want to go in any type of debt for cardboard and/or memorabilia.

3. If you're not that educated on the raw I'd personally purchase in slabs, possibly lower grade, at first. Purchase some low grade cards raw that are authentic and start the learning process.

4. Really it is about being disciplined. Also, don't get discouraged if you don't come out on top on something you really want. It's all just stuff anyway.

As I'm sure you heard, "collect what you like" and it'll be good...
