Default 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.

Sweet holy Moses, can we cut the sarcasm out? You've both ruined my entire morning of enjoyment on the site. Can't a fella have some good clean fun out here without sarcasm ruining it? I only wish you both enjoyed the hobby as much as me and could prove it by losing the sarcasm. Best wishes.

Jason,

If I may speak for both gentlemen.......Rob was referencing deer meat and the manner in which it was meant to be eaten. While Leon, a bit fed-up with deer threads, gave Rob the finger and sarcastically suggested that eating medium rare deer meat is for nerds and would never be served in any of his restaurant chains! He also slily implied that deer jerky taste way better when cooked in a kettle. At least, that is my interpretation.

Lovely Day...
