Economy, and cards.

Is the poor economy starting to trickle down into the card market? I flip a few cards here and there. I have noticed that a lot of the cards I have are selling for a lot less than similar cards would have in years past. I am not worried about it. I know over time things will go back up, but it seems like things are really on the down side. Any of you guys seeing similar trends or is it just me? I know a lot of guys speculate about case prices in the near future. Granted this rookie class is looking great, I wonder if this poor economic situation wont keep prices a little flatter.

I know a majority of this board rip and flip, or buy and hold for the future. What do you seasoned and non seasoned guys see now, and think the near future will hold as far as cards go?

One more thing, everyone says things are going good at my local shop. There are several guys that are a part of it. Anyone keep tabs on how well their local shops are doing?
