Extra! Newbie Tip Of the Day - REPOST Extra!

I havent shown my list of Newbie Tip Of The Day tips for nearly a year now and was reminded that this may be a good time to do so.

I cant say for sure all the links still work, but here ar links to all the original postings.

As some of you may not be aware, about a year and 1/2 ago I started to group of posts titled

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 only the second 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.
