Bread we can live without, but baseball cards? 

Gas is up to $3.79 per gallon here in southern Indiana. I think that's the national average. Bought dog food last night and it's up to over $40 per 35-pound bag for the premium brands. Chocolate-freaking-milk is $4.19 a gallon. What, is there a shortage of cocoa beans?

I feel for the card shop owner who is just trying to do something he loves but watches prices go up and wonders when his customers will all go away for good. Sad.

How are you coping with the high cost of everything? Whether you're a collector, dealer, shop owner, auction rep or just a fan---is it affecting you at all? Let us know in the comment space below. If you haven't registered, you'll need to take about 30 seconds and do that first. We don't sell or give away your email address under any circumstances.
