I agree with everything said but I want to elaborate on one point in particular- if it's been a while since you have collected vintage, you might want to start by focusing on graded cards. The reason for this is there are a lot of counterfeits going around and until you regain your 'feel' for what's real and what's fake- graded cards would be the safest way to go. Don't trust just any grading company though because there are 'fake' grading companies too..try to look for PSA, Beckett, GAI, and SCG labels (there will probably be some opinions that you shouldn't trust them 100% either, but depending on what your focus is- this should get you through).

Are "Vintage" cards , cards that are pre - 1920? I collect 1950 - 1989 but will buy some Bryce Harper, Derek Jeter and Jim Thome...
when I buy a card on ebay I do not often spend over $100 so I'm thinking vintage is out, right? Dan

i buy vintage cards all the time that are far less than 100 dollars.
i know there is some debate about this, but vintage is anything earlier than 1980 or so, in my opinion. pre-war is probably what you're thinking of with the 1920 date, but pre-war is anything ~1940ish and earlier. there are tons of examples in each category that you can find for under 100 dollars. i'd guess that total card population-wise, there are more under 100 dollars than over.
