Has anybody suspected a certain T206 common besides the Titus example that this was being done to?

My thoughts are that if one person holds an estimated 10% of any given common card that it would impact the value. However, if they are not being destroyed, it shouldn't drive the value up beyond the percent being held. Not very smart to try this on a set as abundant as T206 unless you're going to hoard a Demmitt, O'hara or one of the other scarcer cards. Could be more easily accomplished with a front/back combo if you are trying to control price.
