Something I say to young collectors today and still try to use...

educate yourself on what you are buying before you jump in.

You can't pay too much, just too soon.

Yes, I realize that for some deals the right time won't come in my lifetime.
But even the bad deals in prewar from the early 80's look great today.
Can't say the same for the early 90's cards though, but their day will come and hopefully my great grandkids can enjoy that.

1. Buy the card, not the holder.

2. Avoid mixing eBay with alcohol.

"Don't spend more than you have and be cautious not to get too carried away, however most of all, don't be afraid to pull the trigger finger when a great deal comes along. Thats not only true for baseball cards, but also life."
