It'll be good to see how this go'es and I would be very surprised if the prices are weak, (with all that is being offered as Pacific said earlier). This could be a one last chance to get the slots filled with the best and closest to the best that perhaps may not come around again in our years left of collecting. With saying that I believe that the fingers will dig deeper than what may be anticipated. This is the one that will bring out the behind the lines collectors/players.
All in All my opinion is that the dollars will be strongly competitive for the most part, regardless of the economy.
