The term "rare" has become no more than a marketing tool used by anyone trying to get a little more money for whatever he is selling.
I've thought that incorporating the numismatic rarity scale to cards wouldn't be a bad idea. For those unfamiliar with it, coins are ranked from Rarity 1 to Rarity 8, with R-1 being most common and R-8 signifying 2-3 examples known. I think it would be an excellent idea, except how accurately do any of us know how many examples of any card exist? I guess we have a pretty good idea, but even a card like a T206 Wagner has no precise population. At least a rarity scale quantifies a subjective term.
