[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 723322, member: 2486"]Well what info you have been given so far is good! One thing I would like to mention to you if you do not mind is this; When you start a collection no matter what it is, you develop a goal. Collecting is a niche hobby and one that involves supply and demand the basis of all exchange. When you set your goal (a specific direction) for the collection you should focus on a few things. Whatever the goals are you will need to define them in your own mind. If you are looking for others to confirm your purchases for you then you are not being true to your collecting goals. When I began I asked a similar question of my peers here along with images so they could have an idea of what it was that I was after. When it was all said and done, I ended up making the decision and have never looked back. I have paid more for some notes than others and have gotten good and not so good deals...but the point of the addition was to satisfy the end goal, no matter what the cost! Your basic supply and demand. So whatever it is that you want to collect, find out about it, research auction archives, build a pricing guide you can live with and then start working toward the goal. Forget the investment side of it....there will always be someone out there with unlimited resources who will put together a better collection than what you have...that is just Murphy's Law..LOL So go for the very best you can afford and study before you buy..get comfortable knowing what you are seeking and then you will not question yourself. Ohh and one last thought, while there are some legit dealers on Flea-Bay, I would advise you to seek out other sources as well. I have a hard time trusting most E-Bay sellers. Now I know quite a few Dealers who use ebay and if I am looking for something I always call them and develop that connection first. Just a [U]"warning..warning.. Will Robinson" [/U] Good luck!!
