<p>[QUOTE="tbudwiser, post: 1520208, member: 32774"]That's a hard one. Everything including budget, the actual reason you want to begin collecting, what kinds of notes you're into, how serious you are, etc all plays a role in how and what you collect. Me? I basically collect as much as I can for face, although I must admit these days it seems as if I am slowly edging my way into starting to buy notes with premiums too (mainly BEP products for now until I am finished with that). Some other people on here are constantly buying notes that may well be 20+ times face value. Do you want large size notes (anything before 1928) or modern notes (1928 to present)? Do you want notes with history? Or notes that went straight from the print press into a plastic sleeve (uncirculated)? It's all really up to you and what you want to do. If budget is on the tighter side, if I were you, I'd shoot for notes I can get for face from straps. All you have to do is go to the bank and ask for straps of cash to look through. But then again, that's only if you're wanting modern notes. eBay is always a good place to look for nicer collectibles (be careful not to get fooled on there though because that is easy). Unfortunately, I cannot further help you without knowing what you're collecting intentions are. I'm always more than happy to help a fellow new collector figure out what kinds of notes to collect, but I just can't make any suggestions to you without knowing a little more about your intentions.
