T206 John Titus Price Bubble

[tjb1952tjb]

His T206 is probably increasing in price because I sold my nice PSA 5 several weeks ago. You can blame me......my timing is impeccable, as usual.

one of my absolute favorite cards in the set ... it just has "a look" about it

That is a cool picture and it brings to mind a question I've wanted to ask for awhile. What was the reason for having a belt loop directly in the middle front of the pants. I know they used to wear buckles ont he side of the pant but that loop directly itn the middle seems very awkward and uncomfortable. Anyone know the reason for this, sliding perhaps?

Ever try sliding belly first on a belt buckle. Offset the buckle to make for a less painful slide.

Titus Carolina Brights PSA 5 card -- wonder what that might go for, as it's the only one graded. [I also have the only graded T206 Titus American Beauty card]. But, honestly, they're nothing, as I know the collector who owns the Drum Titus card, which is a screamer!

I won't go into detail, but I'm personally responsible for the stock market doing so well lately

So I guess its time to sell Titus?

Most of the time something like this happens, it is family-related. The grandson of Frank Miller has just about cornered the market on his Obaks and Zeenut cards. Ditto the families of Lindsey and Fullerton in the 1911 Zeenut set. To a lesser extent a relative of Jack Coombs was about 5-6 years ago buying up as many of Coombs' E98 cards as possible but I don't think he is still doing this.
For a while the T206 Burch batting and Lindaman, especially in higher grade, were being scooped up and had high price tags for commons but these two cards seem to have come back to earth and are accessible again.

It's a nice card with a lot of eye-appeal . Reminding us of other cards that go for tons more .

He contacted me about my Miller, telling me how important it was for him to get that card, but he didn't mention that he had a stack of them already. I figured it out by searching the board archives, and...

I passed on selling it to him and instead sold it to a board member who needed it as the final card in his set. I hate that the Miller descendant drove up the price by hoarding, but it is what it is.

I think the Titus E254 is one of the cooler cards in the set.

I love the Titus card! Here's the Old Mill everyone has seen 100 times by now, but I don't get tired of showing. I just wish the back was as nice as the front. It's got "pack lines" on it.
