I haven't been back in collecting for long, but can relate to my other hobby, fishing. During the last few downturns in the economy there were a lot less boats on the water. It was a good thing. All the yahoos went away and, for the most part, the hardcore fishermen were the only ones left. If there is a recession, I think the first people to go will be the uneducated yahoos that keep the Coin Vault in business. I think this will result in a stagnation or decline in coin values which will benefit the hardcore collectors.
