Any advice for vintage beginners?

Posted By: Rob

Pete: it IS fun; because of the huge-ass number of cards in the set you can collect any which way. I just bought him a graded Elberfeld NY portrait, a $12 raw T206 common, and a book - Mr.Mint's Guide to Investing in Baseball Cards and Collectibles (don't hate me, because I enjoyed reading that book and it's what kicked my common sense into collecting tobacco issues) - to get him started so he can see what it's all about. The kid is a good chessplayer so I figured he'll get it right within the first few tries.

David: I might just suggest that to him, thanx! I'll probably give him a victorian sewing tradecard (it has horses on it) for him to get a 'feel' of an item that is older than any living human, present day.
