Help - T206 Adkins - Why so much?

[Joshchisox08]

Building off of what Luke said. I'm pretty sure Adkins has a descendant (his grandson) who is a member of this board. He may or may not be one of the hoarders of his card. That is probably the best reason to hoard a card unlike whoever hoarded the Titus way back when.

T206 Insider has it 18th toughest card in the set and the toughest minor leaguer. The higher graded number could be based on how tough the card is, making it more appealing to get graded than an average common card

I have to say im one of the Adkins hoarders,only because I collect Orioles.Ive got 15 Adkins cards in the last year or so.I think even njdunkins 6$ trimmed one.14 are pied,1 SC fac 30,I did this because of the beauty of the card,not the scarcity.Lukelyon is right ,Ive found it way more difficult to find Phil Poland cards at good prices.only have 4 .all with different backs

It is a tough card. Rube Manning (pitching) is also extremely difficult in high grade....Titus is also extremely difficult in high grade, and Frank Smith (Bost. & Chi.) is almost impossible higher than a grade of 6....

Yes his grandson is on the board and has some Adkins cards. He doesn't hoard them as far as I know...
