Dave GTo put this is another perspective - I've just sold via Ebay a tobacco album from Camerons & Sizers, The New discovery album - it was the only one I had ever seen, apart from the listing in the ACC and having seen a few pages. In comparison - I must have seen over 10 Allen & Ginter Champions albums, and at least 5 Goodwins Champions albums over the past year. So, in light of the above discussions the Camerons album is truly RARE, while the champions albums are merely SCARCE - and actually relatively common. But - the champions albums are more topical since they contain baseball images - this doesn't make them RARE, but it does make them more DESIRABLE to a certain group of collectors.
Just another point of view on the use of descriptors.
