Titanium craziness

[Craig2]

I think they've done a good job with this product and there's some serious bang for your buck, but this seems a little extreme:

That seems crazy for a parallel (edit - my mistake, not a parallel but still insanely high) of a d-man who didn't really like it up in 2011-12. It's about the same price as the most recent two-color Toews Cup rookie that sold on Ebay, and about $50 less than a Markstrom Ultimate Shield.

Congrats to the seller on that one. My guess is that card will be available next year for about 10% of the current sales price.

That's the true RC, not a parallel. Nevertheless, the price is too high as, like you said, Moore hasn't really proven anything on the NHL level.

Never understood why some people will pay so much for rookies and/or career minor leaguers. Plain dumb if you ask me.

It's not about who it is...
It's not about it being a rookie...

A complete set is worth so... much... more...

LOL!

Without subbing in a Moore parallel, there are only a couple legitimate 'sets' even possible. It takes determination, commitment, and a healthy checkbook to get it done.

How many examples have we seen over the years of set builders going to extreme lengths to ensure that they have a completed project? Think 06-07 Parkhurst autos, 08-09 Centennial Habs Inks, etc., as this is exactly the same type of thing. Well, more like the Ty Conklin Titanium RC that was a 1/1 that fetched $2K back in the day. Ty freakin' Conklin, people! LOL

Wow, crazy. I just can't imagine someone trying to complete the Titanium rookie set. There can only be one set, hinging on that Mikko Koskinen 1/1.

funny you mention that last part...i was at my LCS last week and we were discussing this same situation with the Conklin card hahahah

Isn't this awesome! It really is impressive to see the commitment some people are willing to execute in this hobby. Much respect for the buyer!

[Tivo32]

The Koskinen is going to go for like $2,500+ at this rate. Unbelievable.

Anyone remember back in 2001 and Pacific Private Stock Rick DiPietro rookies?? Them who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
