Gas prices won't directly affect cards, but in the overall economic picture, gas is a big driver. When gas starts getting very expensive, people start tightening their belts and stop spending extra money, no matter your tax bracket.

I don't see prices for common t210, t209, etc being sustained. $100 for a common minor league is just silly, no matter how the rare the set is. And I gaurentee you, vrey few people could even tell you who the major leaguers are in those sets outside of Jackson and Stengle. The PCL is an understable market. There is a HUGE collector base out there of people interested in that league. This same base does not exist for the Carolina and Southern leagues.

I'll just continue to bide my time, snag the occasion deal, wait for the things to cool off and start buying up things when everyone decides to start unloading their stuff.
