welcome to the jungle.....
start with reading, you'll blow a months budget or so just on good reading....but that is money very well spent.
-you may have a standard catalog (scd) already, if not buy one.....buy an older one to save a few bucks.
-get Lew Lipset's encyclopedia of baseball cards. all three volumes are available in one book.
-get a complete run of VCBC, it pre-dates "old cardboard" and the content is fantastic. issue #7 sells for a small premium, but the rest of the run can be had for a reasonable amount of money.
-get a subscription to Old Cardboard, i believe they advertise on this board.
good luck with your collection.
