Slam or Coincidence?

I was perusing my 2005 Overstreet and had a bit of a laugh at a comment from Steve Mortensen of Colossus Comics.

 

He was blathering about high-end comic book grading and stated that "... the average Joe Collector couldn't determine the difference.".

You're anything but average...

How do you think I feel? Seems like they blather on about "nearmint" on every page in the guide.

You're anything but average...

 

If there's only one... then he's the mode, the mean, and the median.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(So, I think Mortensen is calling him "mean", too.)

Most people don't know what mode means.

That's not the half of it. As grading gets tougher, in a few years they might refer to you as "veryfine".

Most people don't know what mode means.

Mode: the Joe Collector that occurs most often

Mean: the average Joe Collector

Median: the Joe Collector in the middle when you line them all up
