T206 John Titus Price Bubble

Those diagonal lines are from old time 1950's??/60's photo albums which had a series of diagonal adhesive lines to hold the photo's in place, usually with a plastic inner sheet. Which is why the card survived in such nice shape.

I think that Barry S. once referred to it as "slatting" IIRC.

You guys are spot on - It's so obvious now that you say it and that's totally where I've seen it before... photos! Thanks a lot for settling that one.

Is this a consignment? It looks familiar to me and the asking price for it was almost $500.00. Then it disappeared from eBay. Could this be it?

In case somebody's keeping track, Titus sold for $410.00 tonight.

It must be the moustache.

Sounds like a bargain to me. I almost bid just because the moustache is so cool, but then I chickened out. But I would have gone to $550 for it. Cool 'stache!!!

I agree with sb1. I still have a couple of photo albums from the 60's and even the 1970's where they were popular. The thin lines of adhesive tended to make stain lines on the soft paper backs of T206's and sometimes paper loss.

I've never seen one where I thought the T206 pack's foil created the damage.
