Cards some collectors think are rare, but are not.

I used to own a 1960s convertible that a car collector friend of mind described as rare and undesirable.

Reminds me of the old line from an academic book review: "This book fills a much-needed hole in the literature."

I've noticed a lot casual collectors and new vintage collectors confuse "costs a lot" + "old/vintage" with rare.

T206's aren't rare. 1968 Nolan Ryan rookies aren't rare. There's no reason a 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr should cost anywhere near what it goes for...

Demand is there, though. That drives the cost.

Some of the rarer non-HOF/star stuff I own doesn't even have much of a market compared to same-player cards of other issues.
