Demand is the most important. With low supply then you really got a great item.
The T206 set is so popular because it has much more supply than the other similiar items of that era, so it is possible to collect most players . So demand and supply makes this a great set. Though I am getting tried of seeing all the T206's in every auction catalog that comes in the mail, page after page.

Unfortunately, there are now other types of rarity, too.
A card in any way, shape, or form can be a rarity in and of itself, and nearly impossible to ever find, but now we live in the graded world. A thousand of the exact same 'regular' card be immediately located with a click of the mouse in a thousand different places, but say a certain grade of that card has an extremely low POP. That introduces a completely new version of 'rarity' to the equation and blurs the lines even more.

Rarity
I’ve always been a fan of having extremely rare pieces of players that are household names. I’ve heard the saying that “some pieces are just to rare for their own good”…this is generally followed by a low ball offer…hold on to the top tier HOF rare stuff…over time you will either continue to enjoy having something that very few can own or be able to name your price.

 I've always been drawn to rare/obscure issues for just that reason: when someone wants the card, it's my way or the highway.

It’s supply and demand. Not just supply or demand that determine price.

Remember you only need to bidders at an auction to create a demand that may never have existed on a rare card that never had a demand
