This nails it. Rarity means low supply but if low supply is characteristic of a set it stifles demand--and it's the supply/demand curve that sets price. T206 Wagner is in the price "sweet spot" because it is in short supply relative to the huge demand arising from hobby lore and its depiction of a legendary player in a widely collected set.
