It's all up to you Joe on how you want to begin.

I started my collection with my first purchase of Arlie Latham back some thirteen years ago for $12 in EX condition.

I have since purchased collections of lots of as many as 30 or so and by buying in bulk, you can satisfy two needs: the need for discounting the lot and the need to expand the collection. I like to work on unique backs, signed cards and different variations for a truly 'mutt set'. I have since worked on other avenues that come with the territory of being a pre-war collector as I have a number of Old Judges, Buchner's, a few e107's, a bunch of T205's, a few Ramly's and so on and so on. Collecting and enjoying pre-war cards is constant education and that's the joy of it! But the seed that grew my collection was the original Clown Prince of Baseball, Arlie Latham- The Freshest man On Earth.

Good Luck!
