Granted I'm in my 20's and getting started again on an adult collecting level, could use some tips or tricks in slowly building a nice high end collection as a possible investment while still enjoying this great hobby.

Get into a time machine at least to the early 1970's and start buying at flea markets, garage sales and card shows.
