Understood with the very, VERY few unopened T206 type packs around, but there are raw cards in attics, and more specifically, safe deposit boxes that people haven't seen in 40 years, this I promise, and many more times in the future we will continue to be shocked when these are finally brought to public awareness.

While it is crazy to assume that all the T206's that exist still are known to exist and not hidden in an old attic, it is also crazy assume that all the cards that exist now will always exist. Unless every card is put in an everything-proof cube, cards get taken out of circulation via natural disasters, fires, accidents and hundreds of vintage cards are in the mail at any given point. Cards also get taken out of the known category too.

My point mainly relies on, not necessarily attics, but rather collectors who do not, or have not, made their collections known, i.e., safe deposit boxes, safes, et al. I know for a fact that there are collectors with quality, raw and rare cards, not on anyone's radar. Not all T206 cards, and other pretty war rarities, were obtained by their current owners with the last 30-40 years, at an auction house, or in the new digital age.

right but t206s are not kept by the original collector anymore....whoever is dying with these cards didn't get them originally ...when cards are obtained for free they tend to be sold for not top dollars since every dollar collected is profit....so there was more incentive for the t206s that were valuable to be on the market already from these new non original collectors...there are a lot of 1950s original collectors I would gather that their cards may be hitting the market for the first time when they die....as their kids/heirs will be getting the cards for free...

i dont agree with this statement at all. It is the rarer...more valuable inherited collections that DO find their ways to the big auction houses and DO realize top dollar. ALthough by flooding the market with rarities like mint graded e98's and red hindu t206's there can be bargains to be found.

She said they were almost all of the same player - Titus, Philadelphia. We asked for pictures and couldn't help but laugh when we got them. The collection consisted of 56 John Titus cards, including 13 T206s. She packed them up and sent them to us, and the entire lot will be sold in our spring auction. Before the bidding opens, I thought you guys would get a kick out of seeing the pictures. The backs are all pretty standard, with one T206 Old Mill and one T205 American Beauty. It turns out that Titus was from the same area as the family (Schuylkill County, PA), which likely explained why someone made a conscious effort to collect his cards and amass what very well might be the second largest collection of T206 Titus cards out there.

Statistically speaking, the 14 T201 and 13 T201 Titus cards are more of a hoard than the 13 T206 Titus cards, based upon the relative availability of cards from each of these sets versus the Monster.

Take that, hairy lip man!
