"Rare" is a relative term by its very nature. Compared to a Piedmont or Sweet Cap, the red Hindu is exceedingly rare. Compared to an Uzit, or a Drum, the red Hindu is simply an "also ran". Since we have no definitive parameters for the term "rare" as applied to card collecting, its going to always be a confusing description. One person's rare is another's scarce, is another's common. To me, any red Hindu is a rare entity when compared to all of the T206 cards still in existence. If there are still 1,000,000 total T206 cards surviving in all grades/backs/and players, certainly the red Hindu version makes up far less than 1% of the total population, and quite possibly even far less than 1/2 of 1% (fewer than 5,000 total cards). That pretty much qualifies as "rare" when taken in context.
