Start slow and LEARN!!! - Stay away from high dollar cards until you feel confident enough to tell real from fake. Buy a hand full of commons from the set you are interested in. Compare them to each other. Measure them. Smell them. Check them out with a black light and/or microscope. Try to find out as much as possible about the set you are interested in. How many cards? Any specific production related issues that you need to be aware of? Whole point is, don't take the big plunge (read lots of $$$) until you feel that you can swim.

Ciao for now,
