I dont understand the Hoarding aspect of collecting the same card unless you are doing a back run, But to each his own. Im curious to see how much higher the prices of his card sells for. They have already tripled in price since I purchased mine approx. a year ago.

Maybe it's a conspiracy I still would like to see proof of the so-called "hoarder". John, you are more than welcome to buy my PSA 6....

Yes, there is a Titus hoarder. eBay ID is s**h.

Per Card Target, that eBay ID has bought 55 Titus cards since July 2011.

You have to figure they've picked up at least a few more in "off eBay" auctions.

I look forward to the Titus bubble bursting--along with the Shag bubble.

I believe there was a thread on this before that reveals the name of the hoarder...archive time!

You mentioned Shag's bubble bursting...is he being hoarded or something?

Hey Mike,

I don't necessarily think the Shag thing is hoarding--more just a false notion that Shag is somehow tougher than other southern leaguers. Which he isn't.

Truth be told, the toughest southern leaguer is Viola (Violat). [Now I've just started the Viola (Violat) bubble. See how easy it is?]

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Better go grab me some violats now!

What exactly is the point of owning multiple copies of the same card? Seems like that guy is just being a dill hole and just jagging everyone else around. I don't agree with "to each his own". Don't be a douche, one of any card is enough for anyone. Leave some for the other guys out there. I don't have a horse in this race, I'm not looking for one, just my opinion.

^^^ This says it all. Someone has created a manufactured scarcity, turned a relatively common card into what some are now perceiving as a tough common. It's only tough because someone thought of a way to make some bucks- by hoarding them to create the manufactured scarcity. It's a free country, and it's not illegal or anything- but morally and ethically, not so sure on that.

I know this is not some "ingenious" idea- MANY sellers I'm sure have been aware that they could take this "low road" but didn't. The problem with it is, that the person doing this (whomever it is) will only be encouraged by how well this worked for him/her, and we will all of a sudden be finding new "false tough commons" bringing in ridiculous amounts of money for this individual/s.

And, imagine if this bogus modem of operandi catches on, and more sellers start pondering the thought of doing this? Talk about a bubble! I just think it's wrong-it's NOT a scarce card in the truest sense. It's a common with a mustache , and a cool card. In the end, to me, it's a lousy way to mislead collectors-especially new collectors.

Sincerely, Clayton
