So here's the deal with vintage card collecting -
It grows on you - It becomes an itch that HAS to be scratched There is no right or wrong way to do it - eventually you will find what your level of satisfaction is. I would suggest that you simply post a request on Net 54 asking for starter lots of commons. I would think are tons of guys on here that will assist. Then pick a key card or two and go after those individually in the grade/price that you want or have budget for. I wouldn't overly stress too much on price - pricing is very subjective and factors like perfect centering command significantly higher prices than off centered examples in the exact same grade. This is coming from a guy that started a 1955 Topps over 20 years ago with the purchase of 40 low grade commons. Im still working on the 55's and have put together a low grade, mid grade and high grade set. The high grade set consists of all 7s or better and Im down to needing just a couple of cards for it. (Is currently #1 set on the SGC registry) Anyway - congrats on your decision to jump in. The hobby always needs more true collectors.
