Also worth considering is that there are different flavors of rarity and scarcity. In addition to print runs or pop report grades, there's also eye appeal, which is something I focus on. Some cards are nearly impossible to find centered and when those surface at auction, they can fetch prices that have people who aren't in the know calling them "obviously shilled" despite the sales being very much legitimate.
