If you saw that performance live you are dating yourself . I think it was a couple years before me....but not too much.

And the Titus bubble will pop when I line up a mega Titus card deal.

Pardon the uninitiated, but what is the backstory behind this?

Honestly...to me Titus-itis is the most ridiculous disease in the hobby...crazier than Halla-tosis...more insane than ten-millioneritis.

In the same vein...any OJ of a player WITHOUT a moustache...should be equally as desirable!!!!

I know we collectors are crazy freaks...but this is beyond!!!!!

+1, We don't agree often Pete, but I'm with you on this one....

Would it be crazy if he was a descendant of Titus? He's probably not since he doesn't seem to be hoarding the non-moustached T205, but who knows?

I think this is just something that some collectors do. I have a customer who only collects 2 different issues of Babe Ruth cards. (They're relatively rare, but not particularly expensive like some Ruth cards.) Whenever he seems them for sale at a reasonable price, he buys them. When I asked him why only these two cards, he said that he really likes the images on the cards, and it makes it easier for him to focus on what to buy. That is, rather than searching and looking at hundreds of different types of Ruth cards, he just has a couple of search criteria on ebay that he uses, which he checks every now and then. This is practically all he collects.
