What is RARE?

Since I mainly look at eBay, and you will always find the rare stuff in big auction house auctions.

Scarce/Rare...... If on average I see an example (type) on eBay every 2-3 months.
(ie. R337, W504, Big Head, T211, PCL Exhibit, etc.)

Very Rare.....if I see 1 example (type) on eBay every year.
(ie. D303-2 Mothers, D350-3, Frederick Foto, T214, T217, Texas Tommy, J=K, 1923 Fleer, etc.)

Very Very Rare....... would be if Ive seen 1-4 different example offered in last 8 years.
(ie. Just So, E92 Croft "red", 1910 Punch, Big Eater, T208, E222, Derby Cigar, Holmes to Homes, Tarzan, etc.)




Edited to add....... IMO as far as numbers in existance the T206 Wagner may be one of his more common cards from his playing days.

Not including the 1913 era game cards, how many other vintage Wagner cards exist in numbers of 60-75 known examples? Maybe E90-1, E92, E95, E254???? I can think of quite few Wagner that probably exist in number of less than 20..... like E224, E125, E286, E107, D304, D322, E90-2, J=K, etc..
