  While much has been expressed on the board about the 
  recession and our beloved vintage card collecting, one 
  can already begin to see the landscape changing in 
  our hobby.  Prices have begun to taper off some, 
  news of GAI filing chapter 11 and the stocks of the 
  mother company of PSA, CLCT have fallen drastically.
  There's also chatter about a major auction house
  being investigated over possible shill bidding activities.   
  Some expets are already predicting 2009 is going to 
  be a worse year economic-wise than 2008.  With the 
  short terms effects such as prices falling some, 
  what long term effects does the board see taking 
  place to change our hobby for the good or bad?  Anyone?
