Of course there is always going to be more than a few thats out of my price range (T206 Eddie Plank) but for the most part 1-2 a month depending on price is cool with me and I won't have a ton of cards laying around from case breaks which will keep my wife happy. Didn't realize also that there is a ton of different vintage out there. I've also decided that I'm only doing graded pre-1940. Got some 1939-1970 cards and there's nothing like the smell of vintage.
Pick up the Standard Catalog guide. Never mind the prices but the info/checklists in there will open your eyes to tons of sets you didn't know existed. Great reading material while on the can.
