Cathy- What would be of great benefit to you in my opinion is to come to LA for the ICSBC and hold the bottles in the dealers room, talk to other collectors and just get a feel for quality bottles.  If you can not come but for a day or two I think it would really help you.  A few years ago I bought quite a few bottles before handling really fine bottles.  Going to a convention certainly helped me a great deal and helped me to develop my eye...which is still developing.  I think if you could do that it would make many of the suggestions of the experts at the Forum crystal clear.     Just a suggestion!  I hate to see you make some of the mistakes I made early on!  All the best!  Jo
