No More Titusitus?

[The Nasty Nati]

Looks like a Titus hoarder is cleaning out their closet.

I've been noticing too that Titus prices have gone down...possibly the "hoarding" has stopped.

That's a curious decision to say the least. Titus cards have fallen slightly but are still holding pretty strong. A PSA 3.5 just went for a little over $400.00. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-11-T206...item5d5a38ea3a

The seller can do what he/she wants (and maybe they just wanted the money), but unloading ten all at once of a popular card seems like a bad idea. I'm interested in seeing what the final tally is - have to imagine there'd be a better return in breaking them up and selling over the course of a few weeks one at a time.

Yeah, this auction seems like a bad idea. I know a lot of set collectors that want 1 Titus card, why make them purchase 10 to get it? Another oddity, the title only lists PSA 1 POOR when the grades go up to VG.

[travrosty]

no this makes sense, this is someone that has some titus cards, but NOT the main hoarder, IMO, he is forcing the main horder to buy all 10 or none.

[packs]

That would be my guess too. Force a bidding war with someone else who figures, hey I only need 1 and I'll just sell the other 9.

+1. Perhaps someone trying to find out the identity of the hoarder??

[RCMcKenzie]

You all will know when my collection goes to market when an ebay powerseller has 10 of these in one auction...So far I only have 3 of this pose #...

Maybe ... but that's also assuming that not only will the hoarder bid on them but that he won't get any stiff competition. If he/she does, then point taken With Probstein, they'll probably draw a good number but I'd be hesitant about grouping so many together.

I guess we'll find out once the auction closes if it was a wise move or not. Probstein just got over $100 for a PSA 1 and considering that six of the ten cads in this lot are PSA 2-3, individually, they should have brought a nice return.

I don't think 10 Titus's is going to make a dent in the population.....

It's fun watching the bid amount versus the page visits - $688 vs 701. I'm assuming that is a pretty high count. Anybody have a lot that hit 1000 visits?

[frankbmd]

The original premise of this thread may be incorrect. The next bid will push the auction over $1000 with four hours to go.

Oh wait, I forgot, they are in PSA holders so they must be a bargain.

Say what????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iwantitiwinit]

3 hrs and 15 minutes left, up to $995.

[Mountaineer1999]

Man#! I was going to buy these but this thread has totally driven up the price!!!

Nah, I'm kidding. I don't care. :-)

If we do I have a feeling the seller will be sitting on them for a long time.

That was a BIN, though. Titus-itis has calmed down a bit lately, but $45 for a PSA 2 was a great deal for the buyer. That is not the market value of a PSA 2 Titus.

[iwantitiwinit]

I guess the original buyer of the 10 lot is trying to break it up into smaller lots. http://www.ebay.com/itm/T206-JOHN-TI...torefresh=true

This has been such an over rated card for years now. It all started with one collector who was hoarding them, and the mystique of Titus being the only player with a mustache. There are tons of Titus cards out there, having said that, it is extremely scarce in very high grades (7 and higher)...

Fads come and go.....catch the cards "off-fad".......Many series fall into that situation as well as individual cards.

A fair price if not a tad too high. It seems the Titus fad has run its' course. Since the hoarder stopped paying absurd prices, they seem to have crashed down to earth.
