[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3288257, member: 99642"]Hi, maybe I can clarify a few [I]terms. [/I] Rare and Common are terms that are relative to the discussion they are a part of, and relative to the item under discussion. The dictionary meaning of these two terms won't change, however, the connotative meaning (the meaning [I][B]in relation to[/B][/I] the item under discussion) can change. Something can be rare in relation to a small group that it's a part of, but still be common in relation to a much larger group that it is also a part of. and vice versa. Rare and Common are also relative to the number of people/collectors looking for an item. If someone is looking for something, and they can't find it, then it could be said that item is "rare" . However, if no one is looking for an item, then, no matter how few there are, it may be considered very common. Remember, "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" , which in this case means : Value is determined by the person wanting to buy. I hope that helps.[/QUOTE]
