Some threads over the weekend suggested that a few cards, such as the T207 Lowdermilk and T3's with Turkey Red ad backs, are not really as rare as their reputations. Two cards which I feel are overrated are:

1) T205 Hoblitzell No Stats- considering it is touted as the rarest T205 and always seems to sell for five figures, doesn't it seem like there is one in nearly every auction?

2) Same goes for the 1933 Goudey Nap Lajoie. For a card touted as one of the hobby's major rarities, it wouldn't surprise me if at least 8-10 are sold every year.

With the hobby becoming more sophisticated, and with more information being gathered every day, what other so-called rarities do you think should be knocked down a peg? Likewise, which lesser known ones deserve more attention?
