He was not a star or Hall of Famer, but he was a steady contributor for the Phillies in the Dead-ball Era. To card collectors, his lasting claim to fame is that mustache on the T206—the last major-league player of the era still sporting a handlebar mustache when he later shaved it. 🇺🇸 Economic history lesson: @MackinderUnity

John Titus’s T206 is a popular “common” because he is the only player in the entire set depicted with a mustache.
