T206: John Titus

[drazz5]

So I have a question regarding the John Titus card. I was pretty active on here a couple years ago and was keeping up with the forums pretty well when the John Titus hoarding was going on. I haven't been as active in the last year or so due to a lot of factors, but as I'm getting back on here and catching up on the current market, I have seen a couple Titus' going for cheaper than I expected.

I was always fascinated with this card, so I guess my question is, did the price bubble burst? Is there not as great of a demand for them anymore? Curious to hear what you guys think.

said hoarder sold his hoard via auction(over 100 titus's if I remember correctly) in the last year...all in one lot.

im guessing the hoarder lost his stash!

Have not see price tumble. So much for claim that would happen when so many re-entered market....As I recall, that Titus dump was mainly ungraded or low graded? Maybe that's why the 4s and 5s remain strongly priced.

Titus cards are still bringing strong money. I have no clue as to why, but they are....

interesting. I figured they'd have to come out into circulation one of these days.

This makes sense, because the ones I saw for cheaper looked to be 2-3 grade range, but when I went online I saw a lot of 4-5 range cards still selling for good money. Thanks for your input!
