The concern here is that you can hoard any card & then it becomes overpriced? I don't think this is good for the hobby, only for the collectors that are hoarding them.

Yes, you are exactly correct about the other cards. What I was referring to specifically was the population reports. Per PSA, there are only 16-PSA 6's, 3-PSA 7's, 1-PSA 7.5, and only 1-PSA 8 for Titus. That is a very low population, which is going to account for some of the premium it brings. Maybe the lower grades are more in line with other commons, I will definitely check.... I still believe most of it is being the only player in the set with the unique moustache. I would kill to find this card in a 7 or higher and then sell my 6.....

Kevin,
I looked up the winning bidder on the last 8 Titus that sold on Ebay and I believe that 6 were purchased by the same bidder. This does not include BIN .
Also I would love to own a Titus PSA 6 but it is out of my price range ,also my collection is mostly PSA-3 or 4 with a few 5. I agree with you that high Grade examples of this card PSA 6 or better are Tough with Low Pops and go for a premium but that goes for Most T206 . I am only talking about low grade cards PSA/SGC 1-5 . These prices have Sky Rocked lately.Just my Opinion.


Regards
