Default The commonness of rare cards is less perplexing than the rarity of common ones

It may seem that rare cards appear in the market with more frequency than they should because generally people sell cards to raise money, and you will raise more from a rarity than a common. I'm not sure the typical auction catalog is a good cross section of what is out there. In a sense a good catalog offers the best of the best; maybe some of the tougher commons remain in people's collections because they wouldn't sell for that much anyway. I think this answers your question.
