Rarity argument at work today

It seems like almost everyday I am discussing the way prices are determined. No matter what it is it's always supply AND demand first, imo. There might only be 2 of something but if only 1 person wants one it might not be too expensive. Obviously, as in the (pick one) T207 Red Cross Weaver, there is only one known. Demand would be high if it were for sale (it isn't) so the price would be fairly high. There are other cards that are as rare but are not close to as valuable...as the demand isn't there for them. My guess is there might not be a Johnson T207 Red Cross, but it wouldn't be the strangest thing I ever saw, if I did see one. I would imagine there will be more T207 Red Crosses found. To the best of my knowledge there are about 5 known. But back to topic....even if something is very rare it might not be too valuable. regards

ps...to answer another question I don't think there are too many T205 Cobb/Drum combinations around, if any..I've never heard of or seen one..
