Collecting hundreds of specimens of the same card is a sign of a sick mind and we're paying a price for it. Could you imagine going to someone's house and seeing 100 of the same exact collectable car, or seeing 200 of the same exact board game lined up in a closet? How can you justify the utility of that many duplicates? This type of greedy "collecting" habit benefits no one in this hobby.
Now I have to shell out $300 for a Titus card that should be worth $80. When the hoarders feel like its time to cut the cards loose, I lose $220 when the price crashes back down which I could have used to buy 4-5 other cards. At this rate I'll buy the Plank before I buy the Titus under these circumstances. I can easily afford one, but this feels like a scam. I encourage others to do the same and leave the Titus for last until the "special projects" are finished.
