Default Post War Vintage....1949 Leaf Paige

Glenn, Ted:

Doesn't this statement:

In a majority of samples of this size we wouldn't get any cards that showed up fewer than 4 or more than 20 times, but it will happen a noteworthy minority of the time. (So it usually wouldn't be even 1 card, let alone 2.)


Agree with this statement:

However, my recollection is darn accurate and
the fact that there were only 3 - Paige cards in this lot defies all laws of
statistical probability.


Except for the fact that T-Rex overstated the unliklihood, perhaps to emphasize his point.
