originally, there were 3
rare
uncommon
common
then they added mythic
however, rarity tier won't give a good estimation of value, aside from maybe a ceiling
note the badgermole cub, both rated "M" for mythic (bottom left)
left one is about twice the price of the right because it's a borderless foil, while the right is the standard print
unlike pokemon in this regard which tells you the variant in the rarity
And rarity tears
if you're looking for a speculative bet, this might be worth a look
not sure what the population is, but it's the only foil version of any of the "banned for cultural offensiveness" cards, and you can find them for a fair amount cheaper than its Alpha/Beta counterparts
foils can be had for under $75 while the black border OG cards are in the hundreds
most similar cards (special foil of Alpha/Beta/early set) have seen the foils rise much closer to the OG value (Swords to Plowshares, City of Brass)
historical significance, resurgence in crusade-esque beliefs, might help here too

super powerful
banned in all but "vintage" format I believe
and even there it's restricted (can only have 1 in deck, where you're allowed 4 of most cards)
