Ohio Sports Card Shops Battle Economy

It's been a popular topic among mainstream media outlets this year. How is the higher cost of living affecting the non-essential side?

You can count sports memorabilia shops in that arena. While some say people are looking at their hobby as a way to get away from their troubles, those who own sports card shops in the smaller cities of northern Ohio are seeing lots of sellers, but not as many buyers.

Can they use the desperate sellers to help their bottom line? Sometimes, but they told the News-Herald they've still got to have someone to sell them to.
