New orchids, etc = excited!

hi all!
I just read in Aniko's post "Happy Orchids" that in order to upload pictures, we need to have 15 threads posted. So as of yesterday I have a sudden need to get some threads in, because in 4-8 days I'm probably going to need to post some pictures along with some questions. Here's the story.
I'm pretty new to orchids. I have two right now, both young still. A vanda and a cattleya. Quite healthy, and I'm fairly confident I've got them in the right conditions. Well...the other day, Sunday night to be exact, I found quite a deal, or what I think is quite a deal, on Ebay. I know, perhaps not the best place to buy orchids, but I like to look there occasionally. Anyhow, the deal. A box of mixed orchids, $30. About ten orchids, 5 seedlings and 5 more mature, or such. The guy grows them in Pennsylvania...his greenhouse was mostly destroyed by floods a few weeks ago, and now he can't take care of all the orchids. So he's selling a bunch. A lot of them lost their tags. So I'll probably need a little help in ID'ing a few, so I know how to better take care of them. And if there's anything wrong with them, hints on how to help them. He's sold a few boxes already, and the people leaving feedback have been satisfied. They'll be shipped unpotted, and there are no vandas.
Oh and I also bought a phal tonight, when I was out getting some pots for the new additions. It was three dollars, I couldn't resist.
So, I know there's not too much here to go on, but I'm just wondering if anybody can help me prepare for this...I'm going to have a lot of work on my hands!

If you want, you can attach pictures to your text right now, uploading from your computer...Actually, uploading for the Gallery doesn't work.
Happy gardening!
