Are T206 Tolstoi's really more rare than A. Beauty?

[The Nasty Nati]

Based off the below breakdown of T206 back scarcity, Tolstoi ranked 17th and American Beauty 350 frames are ranked 20th. However, when I look at the population report of Tolstoi versus all American Beauty backs (350, 460, no frames) there are 948 Tolstoi and 897 American Beauty backs graded by PSA.

I know using the population reports of TPGs isn't foolproof, but I've personally found it also "rarer" to find American Beauty's than Tolstoi's on ebay and auction sites.

Is Tolstoi in fact rarer than A. Beauty?
