I'll take all the off-condition 1962 Maris cards you can get me at $5 a pop let alone ones with "one bad corner" and "good but O/C."

Lots of good advice in this thread. I did want to say though that a centered 1962 Topps Maris with one bad corner is a decent buy at $50.

I like the advice to familiarize yourself with commons. An inexpensive way to make the inevitable mistakes.

Also like almost anything else in life if you can find a mentor you'll learn quickly. Go scout out the cards you want, form your opinion, and then bring a knowledgeable friend in to see if he thinks you're on the mark. He can then go over, in detail, things you need to look for, pricing rationale etc...

I like the idea of going over commons. Just the other week, I bought 144 commons of 54 Bowman for not very much. SO, with that advice. I will take a look at my 54 commons and go from there.

Thank you everyone. I still want to hear more advice. I could use all of the help I can

If you're looking to trade or sell some of those '54 Bowmans, please check out the thread I just bumped in the 50's B/S/T section.
