No such thing exists as the scarcest card. There are at least dozens of cards of which only 1 copy is known to exist. And at least as many that once existed but have all been lost. |

Rarity and scarcity are different things. Rarity is only a representation supply (1 card, 3 cards, etc). Scarcity is a measurement of supply versus demand. There is no one way to measure scarcity, as there are different legitimate ways to define demand. However, a standard and common way to measure scarcity in a capitalist society is financial value. The more expensive, the scarcer the card. |

My dictionary defines "scarce" as "uncommonly or infrequently seen or found." So it seems to me that "scarce" is synonymous with "rare." |

It goes without saying that some scarce items are also rare-- the rarity contributing to its scarceness. But, rare or not, there has to be demand for an item to be scarce. |
