As a newly found T207 collector, I agree with all said before. He is one of the "non-Recruit" rarities, and he has had the Burdick mystique tagged to him. He might have lost some of this image over time, and cards such as the ones mentioned above can be argued as as rare or rarer. But I think his "known" rarity may add the the perception that he is not the rarest. It's like the Magie T206 error card: If it's so rare, then why do I see one or two every time I open an auction catalog ?(rhetoric)?

But, my personal theory is that ol' Louis is the Poster Boy of the T207 set: A complete no-one, with a great name, who has an even extra pale and ghostly aura, and the "are you really gonna' put me on a baseball card" look.
