Well it's the ratio of supply to demand, and rarity as a rule (actual rarity, not T206 "rarity") results in obscurity and reduced demand. Whether it reduces it enough to lower the price is -- again -- just a function of the supply/demand ratio.
Generally I'd say if it's a cataloged issue the rarity boosts the value, since there are always going to be some type collectors looking for any particular cataloged type they don't have yet, but for every cataloged rarity out there there are several uncatalogued obscurities that won't attract bidders unless it's a card of a major Hall of Famer (or Shoeless Joe).
