Thanks, guys. I've been doing as much reading as I can, and I'll definitely be asking for help when I buy my first few at least. The thing that concerns me is that I'll likely be jumping around all over the map, so I won't be developing any acumen for one specific year. I'm planning on doing something like this to start:
1953 Bowman Color Stan Musial
1941 Play Ball Joe DiMaggio
1956 Topps Ted Williams
1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig
1909-11 T206 Walter Johnson portrait
1955 Topps Roberto Clemente
1909-11 T206 Ty Cobb off shoulder
There will be some sets I touch on more than others ('53 Bowman, the T206 cards), and some of these will take me a while to save for as I limit myself to $5-600 a month on my hobby until my back (hopefully) gets fixed, and I can get back to work. I might just buy one a month, or every other month, as I still buy modern, too.
I've started identifying ways to buy and hold some Bowman Chrome prospect auto cards, and sell them for a profit within a few months. Anything I can gain from doing that I can roll over into my vintage buying.
