I think the Evans card's pop will rocket up by next month.



Nice cards, Jeff.



I'm kind of surprised more people are not interested in this topic. I've never seen something like this. It makes no sense. Why isn't he buying the 1915 Cracker Jack on eBay for $283 from TonyETrade?

Why? Because the buyer is going to get his all graded or because you and other T206 collectors are going to decide to get yours graded?

Mine would probably grade Auth. If you had a nice good to very good T206 Evans and Probstein or Just Collect offered you $350 for it today, would you sell it to them? No, it's a valuable card now, and people send valuable cards like Ty Cobb to be graded before selling.

Let's see if its valuable in a month.

Hasn't it (the 50 or so sales above $1000 or whatever it is now) damaged the idea that it's a $61 card? Titus sells at low tier hofer prices years after the Titus guy stopped buying.

It's not a $61 card today. It may well be again in 1 month. Price is not a perpetual upward arrow. Many hoarded cards no longer have a premium. You can get a 1964 Topps Curt Flood for $3 on COMC right now in VG+ range. Whether a card keeps a premium is dependent on 1) the driving anomaly factor remaining in perpetuity (this clown paying the fortune for them) and 2) if hobbyists try to keep pumping the card after.

It helps Titus that a lot of people jumped in on the bandwagon, made it a meme card, and his premium was relatively modest. Titus wasn't $2K.

I personally doubt anyone else is going to be stupid enough to pay anywhere near these thousands for a common card of a common player. Factor 1 is unlikely to remain for very long.

I agree we should revisit the topic in a month, or whenever we find out what's going on. He bought 4 more on eBay today. $8000 best offer accepted for a small color shift nothing burger. Why is he haggling like me on the bst offering $11 for a T218 track and field card when the seller wants $15?

Presumably because he’s an idiot, crazy, or on a week long coke binge . I would not expect logical actions from a fool like this. He does not need to know much of anything about cards to realize he doesn’t need to pay this much to get a ton of them. I am not against hoarding, but this is probably the stupidest way to go about it possible.

I’ll sell T218 tracks for less than $11!
