Cards some collectors think are rare, but are not.

I had some fun over at gem rate today looking up the top 1000 cards (by grading pop). Website is https://www.gemrate.com/top-cards.

One cards I see for sale online all the time is the 1958 Topps Mickey Mantle AS #487. I sometimes see these posted as "rare Mickey card". Lets look up the pops on this card:

PSA - 12,832 graded
SGC - 4,402 graded
Beckett - 2,197 graded

Over 19,000 graded. And who knows how many raw. Not a rare card.

What is a card or cards you see listed as rare, but are not?
