Hello,

I search for the RIC 132 (Antioch) rarity. It is noted C4 and i would like to know what is the exact rarity noted. Where is the table content for this, i dont find?

Hi,

The explanation in the introductory text (page ix) is that it is not a 'rarity' index but rather a 'frequency' index. Seem a bit semantic those descriptions, however the author does go on to say that there are not hard and fast frequencies set against each rating in this volume.

Hope that helps.
