If you mustache, methinks it's the facial foliage.

For a while one boardmember was going after every example, last I heard (6 months ago) he was up to 120.

I prefer the rare Kawika variation.

It's gotta be the mustache, and the fact that's MILDLY tough. It's also arguably the best T206 portrait in the set. This card is definitely not as common as a lot of other T206s. When I was searching for my example last year there was almost never more than 2 or 3 for sale on Ebay at any particular time. Prices have definitely been surging for the past year now which is probably tied into the whole surge in T206 prices as a whole.
I still check the current prices every now and then on ebay for the Titus card. Even if you search the BST section here, they even somewhat rarely show up here for sale. Of course as I type this there's one for sale right now, but it is few and far between. Last edited by Mick_7; 05-17-2013 at 02:48 PM.

This card is unique within the set due to the stache and has had interest as far back as I can remember. Between being held in collections and hoarding, it's less common and probably comparable to Tenney and Ganley but typically in better shape. $100 is not that inflated unless a slew of them become available from a hoarding scenario.

Buying up a common T206.
This (MAY) work only if you keep it to yourself and are completely smart about it. Once word gets out that you are doing it to a particular card, everyone will start asking 5 - 10x the value for that card knowing that you are trying to buy all of them up. Has anybody suspected a certain T206 common besides the Titus example that this was being done to?

There is a person on the board who collects cards of his great-grandfather from the Obak set and that really drove up the price once he had a lot. Miller I believe. I'll try to find it... Found it, the player is Frank Miller. While looking for it, I found out another player I heard about and it happens to be a t206 card. Someone has a huge Hans Lobert collection, I believe it was 50+ back in 2006. Not sure if he kept on going with it

in my opinion...buying a common card in mass qty trying to corner the market is a foolish endeavor...UNLESS...the card is more desirable than just a common for some reason. for example...there have been hoarders of shaugnessy cards as well as the aforementioned titus...both of which are more desirable than just any common for apparent reasons. still...there are so many out there that it is still a common card...just the only moustached one!
