Thoughts on T206 Hoarding/Creating scarcities

-Pelty
- Shag schaughnessy
-Doyle hands above head

This "tactic" seems to be working based on the "scrambling" to obtain these such cards by members of this site.

Is this justified? Is this a legitimate/effective tactic? Thoughts?

I was under the belief that the Doyle wasn't being hoarded as much as some people were literally trying to create a scarcity by adding some extra text.
