Taking your argument to its' illogical extreme a unique card that was not part of a set would have a ratio of one and not be considered rare.

I disagree with this Jay when someone compares a specific card to a T206 Wagner the scarcity of the Wagner isn't just the number of examples that exists it's the number of examples that exist compared to the number of cards that exist in the T206 set. Using your high estimation on the Wagner's that exist it's 70 examples out of several Million.
