I will never pay an inflated price for a card that someone does this with, and in my opinion it's a pretty crappy thing to do (create a manufactured scarcity) to collectors.

I agree with Clayton here. I remember when I first started collecting T206's and Titus was definitely as easy as any other and over the course of a year or so, he exploded! I highly doubt I will be paying a few hundred dollars for a PSA 2...especially for a card that simply isn't worth it.



As far as Pelty goes, I don't remember him bringing too much of a premium besides the normal slight premium for being a horizontal card. Lately Pelty has soared and I'm not sure why. I'm not sure how any card that is a common and not designated as a tough common necessarily, becomes tough...unless like Clayton mentioned above...manufactured scarcity.
