I think someone hoarded T206 Titus cards. There is NO WAY that guy should be worth that much simply because he had a mustache.

This was my assumption too. If it wasn't hoarded, this was the silliest 'hot commodity' card I remember.

I see the last sale of a common back is a P/F grade raw that went for $199 from Greg Morris. Evidently this one is still going crazy.

Not exactly the same as hoarding, but it can have the same end effect when a card that was previously thought to be scarce or in short supply is found out to exist in higher numbers. For some post-war examples, see the Gil Hodges Dormand postcard, 1964 Topps Giants (though high grades of those have risen quite a bit lately) and the 1967 Topps Brooks Robinson. The Hodges and '64 Giants were the victims of a stash of cards that were later found and the Brooksie was found to exist in higher numbers than previously thought.

Of those, I believe the Hodges pc find had the biggest effect on price.

I would posit the 54 Bowman Ted Williams 66a card too.

But it’s no simple mustache. That’s an anachronistic 1 in 524 mustache.
