As rare as something becomes, be it a baseball card
or a musical recording or a postage stamp, the more
avidly it is sought by collectors.

(A) As rare as something becomes, be it
(B) As rare as something becomes, whether it is
(C) As something becomes rarer and rarer, like
(D) The rarer something becomes, like
(E) The rarer something becomes, whether it is

--Why is 'E' the right answer?..Why not 'b'?

Doesn't -
E) The rarer something becomes the more avidly it is sought by collectors.

looks better than

B) As rare as something becomes the more avidly it is sought by collectors.

As rare as is generally used for comparisons.
for eg. X is as rare as Y.
When you think you can or you cannot, you are generally correct.
