Default PSA Autograph Rarity Scale

Just curious of what some of you think of the scale, does PSA have it right?
http://www.psacard.com/dnasetregistr...tion.aspx?c=37

I think some of it is way off, I think all of the below should not even be included in the General Set (IE-Nearly impossible to find/Bonus Points Category)

Jesse Burkett is a 9 (IE-As rare as Lazzeri and McGraw)
Jack Chesbro, Tommy McCarthy are 10s

Since I have been collecting, I have seen a total of 0 Burkett and McCarthy (legit) autographs offered for sale. Halper had to even steal McCarthy's will to get one in his collection. I know Joshua Tree had a Burkett, but most true collectors believed it to be fake. As for Chesbro, I know of the 1 check that was offered recently as well as the reunion balls in private hands, but it is still an extreme rarity.

Additionally, I would bump Barney Dreyfuss up from the Bonus Points to a 10 or 9 category.

Thoughts?
