As David pointed out, the pop report is far from perfect, but in my opinion, it is the best data source available, hands down, to analyze card rarity and condition sensitivity.
You can draw various conclusions from the pop report, but none of those conclusions give you an accurate provable number on how many of a given card exist outside of the population report.

Yes, based on the pop reports you can ASSUME that a certain card is more rare than another, but it is an assumption, which can not be proven.
