WELCOME!!!

So looking to jump into the 34 Goudey Set. I myself started this set just this past year. I myself am looking for a PSA 6 or above so a lil more difficult to locate cards from time to time for reasonable prices. I know your looking for a lower grade set which to me is a bit easier to do. I read the other posts above and everyone has there own opinion on how to start a set. None of them are wrong its all on your preference.

I myself when doing my set I first set a goal for the year. This year I planned on completing half my set and including the #37 Gehrig. I feel if you give yourself a goal to hit you try a bit harder to achieve it.

As for buying a starter set that never worked for me because of the price plus I like the chase of finding all the cards myself.

Where to start, well I first did a lot of research on the set. First was the pricing, difficulty level, wants by other collectors. There are only a few big names in this set that people want in better shape. Thats the Gehrig's, Greenberg, Foxx, Cuyler,Dean. People will judge the set based on the grades of these cards.

What to buy first is up to you and your wallet. I myself don't like to spend crazy money so i buy the bigger name guys in lower grades and will upgrade them over time this way I am not shelling out $$$ at one time. I buy what I see at good pricing. I hope you enjoy your quest of making the set but if your looking for a starter set there is one for sale in the B/S/T section for a reasonable price. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
