Default hoarding vs. collecting

You all will know when my collection goes to market when an ebay powerseller has 10 of these in one auction...So far I only have 3 of this pose #...

The Titus hoarder hasn't bid on any in several months so he probably won't
be pushing up the price on this lot.

Titus-itis certainly seems to have dropped in recent months. A couple days ago,a Titus PSA 4 sold for $223.50 and the one that really seemed surprising was a Titus lot that included a decent T-206 selling for just $102.50 earlier this week.

The Titus Polar Bear that sold for $400 recently definitely seems to be anomaly to the softening of Titus pricing in recent weeks and months. A Titus T-206 in very good+ condition sold for $148 on eBay last month. There for a while, Titus beaters in horrible shape were selling for that much.

I kinda figured this latest lot of 10 Titus T-206s and the earlier lot that included various Titus cards from different sets came from the big lot of Tituses in REA's auction earlier this year.

You are definitely a hoarder. Having three of the same OJ pose is basically like having 100 of the same T206 cards as far as % of population. That's just on average, with the rarer OJ poses equaling the rare T206 cards

I would be surprised if the lot tops $1k. Can't imagine $100 a card for a common, no matter how popular.

I have a feeling that lot is going to trade over 1K. Wouldn't surprixe me at all. I'm guessing $1450.

Still waiting to buy a Titus PSA 5 for $100-150. Which is what the card would be worth under normal supply/demand conditions (by that I mean nor hoarding).

I don't expect I'll have to wait too much longer. Sorry to those who bought into Titusmania.

What is really going on: Tom Selleck has been forced to sell off his Titus hoard so that he can buy water for his ranch now that he will no longer be able to steal it after getting busted.
