Thank you everyone!! I'm both surprised and impressed with the number and range of answers! There are ideas that I had never thought of before and will probably end up doing them in the near future. For right now, I think I'm gonna start with the '56 set and collect some t206 team/back sets. I didn't think I would be able to do the '56 set, but it sounds like it can be done! Again I want to thank everyone who has responded. Also, please keep responding!! I like to see and hear what other people are collecting. Please post pictures as well so we all can share.

If anyone has any ideas or knows where I could pick up a lot/incomplete set (about PSA 3-4), I would love to hear about them. My fund is slowly building back up and I'm looking forward to beginning this journey!

The funny thing about "vintage" collecting that *I've* found:

The more you know, the easier it gets. Keep reading Net54. Start building what you feel like you want, then allow it to change over time.

The lucky thing, in my opinion (and in my experience) is that if you're a "deal shopper" you can collect vintage at little to no risk because you can usually offload at the same price you bought.

Obviously, there are booby traps with forgeries...but in my experience, you don't run into those as long as you keep your interests modest. As you gain knowledge, you can open yourself up to those types of things and be able to mitigate the risks.

I see that Mr. Gregory (above) said roughly the same thing.

In short, start with what tickles your fancy. Allow it to evolve. Start modest and grow into an advanced collector. Also, with even a small budget you can complete ANYTHING if you give yourself enough time.
