Maybe they're just "medium rare"

[Rob D.]

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.
