Default Why isn't Rarity the No.1 factor in determining a card's value?
Posted By: E, Daniel

How is a fingernail, an analogy for an orange borders Mathewson Vs a T206 portrait mathewson? The second compares two cards, both printed at roughly the same time, of the same player, with similar image............
And one is disproportionately rarer than the other, and disproportionately cheaper (like how I spelt it correctly both times!!).

So, I get economic theory. Throw as much Keynes at me as you'd like (I studied in University too!!), but where there are similar items available, shouldn't scarcity play a stronger role in shaping demand?
