Rarity is only a factor if the card is from a high demand set in modern. Modern collectors will be drawn to cards from key sets like t206 Cobbs and 1933 Goudey Ruths over rarer cards. They also like high grade cards, so rare low grade cards will be less appealing.

More I think about it and consider your point, the more Id tend to agree here. Lets just hope more of the transition happens and some of these vintage cards start getting even more respect and love than they do currently.

Rarity is less important than demand or this card would have gone for more...

I'd rather have my three than tying up so much money in one card.
