Maybe they're just "medium rare"
Was browsing Huggins & Scott's latest auction catalog tonight and saw this sentence as part of the description of Lot No. 32, a 1961 Topps Dice Game Brooks Robinson card:
In a hobby where the term "rare" is often overused, the offered 1961 Topps Dice Game Brooks Robinson is appropriately billed as such.
Good job by H&S, I thought, kind of calling out the cheapening of the "rare" label in our hobby.
Then I came to Lot 889, a group of three T206 Shag Shaugnessy cards:
These (3) rare T206 singles have been slabbed SGC 40 (Old Mill reverse), SGC 30 (Piedmont) and SGC 10 (Piedmont).
Good for a laugh.
