Tituses were in great demand there for awhile. Everybody wanted the only T206er with a moustache. Somebody here made this FrankenTitus of me about 2010 or so. Might have been Wonka but am not sure. Worth five hundred bucks, to me anyway.

Looks trimmed...

The mustachio, not the card.

What difference does it make if he's listed as "Private" or not? If you click on the icon on the bid list, you can still see his feedback number and relevant bidding history just like every other bidder on that card. You can't see any other bidders feedback either, unless you are the seller.

Somebody got run up, but I don't see any evidence of shilling. Unless that seller just shilled the Titus card, and not the 100+ other T206's on his sold list.

Maybe this guy buys lots of adult material or some other niche collectible and doesn't want to be tracked.....or is like a veteran boxing collector I know, and goes way back to the beginning of Ebay, and became paranoid of bidding competitors tracking his bidding history and running HIM up. Never been a seller himself, but made himself "private", in order to throw off rival bidders, and never changed his MO through the years as Ebay became more privacy oriented.

Oh yeah.........and then there's the mustache. Maybe the wrong collector got hypnotized by it....yet again.

While I thought it was high, Titus’ have been hard to find. There has been several times over the last few months that there have been none on eBay. I’m somewhat interested in a back run and got an OM, SC350/25, and PB, but he seems to really be hard to find again and getting expensive….
