The T206 Titus Bubble

[glynparson]

But I find it highly unethical to question someone's collecting habits. Why can a person not collect as many copies of a card as they so choose? Even if profit is the motive how is that unethical. Those calling this individual unethical without even k owing his motivations are worse in my opinion than the hoarder even if he did ecentually destroy the cards. To those criticizing this as unethical exactly how many copies of a particular card are you allowed to own before its unethical. I'm sorry but I just see that position as silly at best.

I bought into the whole net54 created Titus craze a few years ago when I was still collecting T206...but sold it when I liquidated. I mean why should a card be more desirable just because it's the only one with a moustache? Seems silly to me?!

T206 is a pretty easy set to complete...to me it adds interest when certain cards are tougher to obtain than others for whatever reason.

This! A person's right to acquire and do as they will with their property is the key here. No one in entitled to be able to acquire "x" card @ "x" price thereby creating an obligation for others to stand aside or not engage in what is perfectly legitimate behavior in order to create a path. I think John Stuart Mill would even agree with that, not sure about Immanuel Kant.

I understand the frustration but this is not an ethics issue. Bid more or wait.
