New collectors asking for advice

Julie, I have no clue what's good for investment, in part because my goal isn't to have stuff sitting in my basebment for years.

I think Scott was refering to typical board arguments and nit-picking ('Technically, Goudey cannot be considered a gum issue, as their chicle contained harpsornate 12, which 1933 consumer law did not allow to be put into true bubblegum. As such, the Goudeys are technically a Chewable Plastic Insoluble Based issue. And don't even get me going on that scam perpetrated on public called the double bubble.' And this was a response to a newsbie's question of, "What's a common card mean?)), which, at best, will confuse the newbie.
