Thoughts on T206 Hoarding/Creating scarcities

[Pat R]

Pete, I don't know how effective it really is, in the end the hoarder is the one
who is overpaying for most of these cards. The people who are benefitting
from this are those that are selling them for 5x+ what they payed for them.

I for one will never buy a Titus for what they are selling for now. Two recent
sales: Titus PSA 3 $290 Dahlen (Brooklyn) PSA 3 $305. I know you don't collect t206's anymore but if you did which one would you choose?

I consider myself a type collector, but there are a couple cards that I have hoarded. I have to remind myself to stop buying the card I have enough. It is like how Matt described it in the Rickey Henderson thread:

I am not doing it to drive prices, but when I see the card I just have to put a bid in for it. I am not a very good hoarder because I have less than 10 and there are several on ebay that I have passed on to buy something else (though it was hard).
