A MUST Read for Newbies (And many Oldies) 
Newbie Tip Of The Day
What started out as a top 10 list of things to help new collectors quickly grew to over 100 posts.
Included in this group were many links to other collectors sites, blogs and special projects.
For the very first time, I wanted to post a link to the first 100 in one place.
Each is a link to the original post from the Chipboard Archives and any comments from others can be seen in those threads as well.
