Owner of a modest .282 lifetime batting average in an 11-season career that was spent mostly with the Phillies John Titus was known as an excellent defensive outfielder with a keen batting eye who played games with a toothpick in his mouth. His career ended after a beaning that fractured his skull. Among today's collectors however Titus is known as the only subject in the T206 set with a mustache and an inexplicably difficult card to land due in part to intense competition among a few collectors that collect multiple examples of this card in particular. This example is absolutely destroyed - graded POOR 10 by PSA with significant creasing paper loss and staining. However we were determined to run this card as an individual lot simply because collectors have a difficult time finding affordable examples of this card due to the competition of obtaining one.
