My advice (which I stated on the board before) is “the good stuff doesn’t go down in price. Buy it as soon as you can”.
What would be your one piece of advice to this collector?

75% of the fun of this hobby is "the hunt", so don't rush it. the right stuff is out there for those who are patient. 15% is research. Knowledge is power and research is key, and is also fun to do. The remaining 10% is just looking at, and loving the cards you have. All of these are amazing and irreplaceable fun.
