Default Which So-Called Rarities are Overrated?

Posted By: barrysloate

Peter- you can add anything you want to the list, as this is just a survey.

Yes, the 1933 Lajoie is a rarity in relation to other Goudeys produced in 1933 and 1934; but as rarities go, doesn't it seem like there is one, and at times even two, in nearly ever major auction? So my question is: is it overrated?

And for every Hoblitzell no stats for sale, how many T208 low grade commons are there? Zero.

For that matter a T207 Lowdermilk is a very tough card, but just look how often it shows up at auction. I'm just referring to those that have for a generation or more been considered among the hobby's elite cards, but seem to show up too often to truly be deemed rarities.
