That you have not been tracking the recent sales and very scarce availability of this particular card. I'd like to see a couple of real world auction/sales data thats recent that support your claim.

A problem I see is that everyone is using non precise language in this topic. To someone who has been around the hobby for a long time Red Hindus do not seem rare. Hell you said there are currently a couple of lots available. If your definition of rare is "I can't buy one in the specified grade after looking for a week" that will be different than mine which is more on the order of "I really hope one comes up for sale this year since none came up for sale in the last two years."
This isn't just for the OP, but back to the never ending discussion of what is rare. An N167 is rare, a Red Hindu is not.
I also think wonka had some good points.
