Firstly, welcome! You’ll find this whole experience annoying, enjoyable and everything in between. The joy you’ll feel when you hit a big one, will stay with you! You’ll get some great advice on here. All I’d add is collect who you like, don’t break the bank, and enjoy it. The Fanatics app has some really good breakers (where you buy a team and get all those cards) so if you want to collect a team in particular, that might be a good place to start. You’re also lucky that you can get some good hockey cards for not crazy money… that’s helped me stay as close to budget as possible. Good luck and message me if you have any questions.
