 Welcome, Brat and Cromwell! You might want to start by defining exactly what you want to collect. Try to resist the urge to add maniacally to the list, and you'll save a bunch. That's the rub, eh? "One of everything" isn't all that realistic, unfortunately. The stuff on this site is incredibly helpful. I've been playing for 00 years, and attending GenCon auctions almost as long. But I never really looked at collecting in such a carefully thought out way. It's amazing how much is out there. Anyway, now just to figure out what I really want . . . .
