I don't know what rarity guide he's using, but he's probably reading it backwards.

If you're referring to me, I was using this: http://www.rarityguide.com/.

Yeah, I was looking at that. It seems to be missing thins in the archive, the DS list does not have any Phoenix Wright games, And i think its missing a few Mario titles. The vinyl list has no Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Michal Jackson, Metallica, and only 1 Pink Floyd and Doors album. I do not get how the rarity is determined. In the FAQ it says
One word: Research! We research values of items just as we would research a college project.
Research of books and periodicals on the subject.
Feedback from our community.
Our researchers' expertise and knowledge of a category being covered
Consulting with friends and clubs that have knowledge in the area.
Observing current market activity.
Monitoring newsgroups, bulletin boards, listservs and forums on the subject matter.
Even attending many garage sales, thrift shops and flea markets to get a first hand insight!

Please forget rarity lists of some smartasses who think they researched the true worth off games thorugh books and dunnowhat! ::)
True rarity can only be determined through years of collecting and in it's course observation of the market.
