Trying to assign numerical value to terms I think would be an interesting idea.
Becomes a little more interesting with T-206 of course as a Frank Chance T-206 may not be rare, but one with a particular back might be.
Ideas/views with regard to setting terms for number of examples that survive?
Best,

We have had this discussion so many times I think many folks don't really want to get into it again. In the pre-war space, when there are a hundred of something, it's not usually considered rare. The real question becomes the difference between rarity and scarcity. Scarcity has to do with the number of folks who want something (demand). Even if something is rare, with only a few known, it may not be too valuable when hardly anyone wants one. I have a whole collection that mostly fits that description.
