Would anyone have said Titus ten years ago?

I'll go with Puttman.

Titus recipe for fake hype =

Slowly buy up at least 75 - 100 commons ( mostly graded, between 2-5 grades are fine).
Make a post fanning them out stating you have been investing as you see an upside.
Tell a few other colleagues you have secretly been working to corner the market but finding frustration as "I just can't seem to find many anymore, the supply seems low" (this doesn't need to be true).
Those collectors spread the rumor in boards and in hushed tones about "the accumulator".
Dealers raise prices hoping to bring you in like a sucker, people panic and start buying.
You wait till the hype drifts up during the next couple years.
Slowly sell individual cards at the peak and make a mint from the panic.
Laugh to yourself over how easy that was.

It's all a house of cards...literally.

Looks like someone took your advise with Bob Ganley last night. 4 of them sold in a short period of time.

Unearthing this thread. After seeing the PWCC auction results tonight, I'm having to go with the Johnson Portrait. Someone just dropped $2750 on a PSA 2.5.

Come to think of it, people must be feeling pretty good financially right now. I was very surprised at how high some of the bids went.

Pretty robust Speaker prices recently...certainly also Matty, WaJo, Young too...seems like top tier HOF, especially with rare backs, surging.

I agree Michael I think % wise Speaker might have went up
more than any of them in the past 6 months- year.

I got outbid on every single card I bid on tonight with them, figuring to get at least a couple. All were “commons”, with some tougher commons, that a year ago were pulling much less.

Yes, that WaJo was pretty crazy considering a very similar PSA 2.5 with the "PQ" PWCC sticker sold for $1678 just last month and some thought that price was nuts.


While not T206, another surprisingly high result for a Cobb card from the era was the SGC 4 E102 Ty Cobb which ended for $17,656. Yowza!

I don't know about Puttman, but I'm in agreement with the general thinking here. The cards most likely to double or triple in price over the next two years are probably (almost certainly?) some common players. Now if you can only figure out which ones you're all set.

The same applies to penny stocks. Personally, I struggle somewhat to predict the future.

I hesitated to mention commons but I firmly believe that, especially better grades.

It could be that tough T206 back, front combinations will jump. Some of them have very low pops.

Scrap!!

Either that or someone will discover they have a long lost cousin in the set, and corner the market

[Rhotchkiss]

These very rare backs, and I think Drums lead the way:Brown Old Mill
Brown Lenox
Drum
Broadleaf 460
Uzit
