No, are you?

After posting that Titus collage above (along with the poor internet meme/joke) I realized that I'd better come back on here to say that, no, I am not the Titus hoarder either.

I bought that piece mainly for the E270 Red Border Titus and 1906 Phillies team picture. Most of the rest of the cards, including the T206, are now long gone.

My hoard of Titus cards is stuck at 0.

What I find interesting though is the fact that most of the Titus cards listed on Ebay came from one seller (board member) with most being sold to one buyer.

So one person built a quantity of them to sell on Ebay and now another person is building a large quantity of the same cards.

Interesting observation Jantz, and thanks for posting!

But apparently there is nothing to be alarmed of, it's been determined that all of the "Titus-oddness" is just a matter of hoarding. Nothing more than a paranoid conspiracy theory. Common T206's, with a little ingenuity, can become "tough commons" before you even realize it.

Alex- you and I have the same Titus count, I guess that rules us out

Daryl- wonderful start, keep up the great work!

It's getting crazy expensive to hoard this card.

The Titus SGC50 in Goodwin last night ended at $ 618.80

YIKES!

This thread most likely contributed to that hammer price.

I had two Titi and sold one for a nice profit.

Note also: The title of this thread should be John Titus-Itis, not John Titus-Itus, with the flu reference in the original post.

Scary to think collecting the Stache is leading to inflammatory diseases.....
