John SIt might be the price of gas....seriously. That and other economic woes have pinched or eliminated the budgets of many collectors. I count myself amongst those that have been pinched a bit. I have cut back card spending about 25%-50% over the last three months in anticipation of a tough winter season (had natural gas bills approaching $300 last winter and it is suppposed to be worse this year). I have noticed the leveling that you describe relative to caramel cards and picked up a couple "bargains" recently myself.
