Fred CDan,
Do you collect OJs? If you do then my recommendation to you is to RUN from this hobby as it's starting to fall apart and you don't want to be in the middle of it when the seams split.
If you don't collect OJs then, welcome back and have fun finding those nice non-OJ cards.
Honestly, I don't know how anyone can predict how the economy will impact everyone. Someone with a substantial collection could fall on some very tough economic times and be forced in liquidating their cardboard. Nobody wants to see this happen but this could be the reality for some. The next couple of years could be an interesting time in sports collectibles. I do feel that the more rare or sought after stuff will have a greater chance of retaining the most value as opposed to the material that is very common (for example, a T206 Cobb in average condition).
This is just my opinion. If anyone wants to say I'm an idiot for having that opinion, please feel free to do so without expecting a post that says you're an idiot for not agreeing with me.
