Your best bet in anything, is to find a handful of sellers (could be dealer, could be collector) you know and trust. Not only will they know what's what, but are people you know will handle a problem if it should arrise. They will also be great sources of cards and knowledge in case you decide to go into different issues. I'm sure that many on this board could recommend some good sources, and might be good sources themselves.

I'm no advocate of graded cards, but I think it's a resonable idea for a starter to first buy graded cards (meaning graded PSA, SGC, GAI, etc-- not PRO or others). They make mistakes, but on the whole should be pretty reliable. I'm talking here about authenticity, not grade issues.

Sunday's Daily 'Quick Tip' specifically address counterfeitted Goudeys, so I will pas on detailing the tip here. Only those who get the 'Quick Tip' know what the hell I'm talking about in this paragraph.
