The E90-1 set is weird because if you ask 100 different people, they will tell you the same 20-30 people are "rare" but in completely different orders of rarity. It is no secret that this card is tougher to find, and it has been known to be such for probably 20-30 years and has been catalogued as a premium in the price guides as a result, but different people will rank it in different rarity. Some people claim Donlin is rare, but I once bought 3 of them at the same card show and have owned probably 4-5 others which makes 7-8 examples in a three year period; Far from rare.

Rare is an overused term for this issue with probably multiple layers of toughness. There are probably a dozen "Rare" cards in this issue and Upp is not one of them. The combination of somewhat tough card to find and an attractive desirable pose make this card what it is, but $220 IS too much for it in that condition.
