A lot of pin people are not on Pinside, so that is why I do not use their numbers, just the amount the factory made.
Like I said, just how I rationalize the term "Rare". Everyone is going to be different on this subject because it is very subjective, so not a big deal.
When I am selling a pin I base my price on what the market will bare anyways, not what people tell me my price should be because the pin is deemed, common, uncommon, rare, or other in their opinion.
Bottom-line, do what suits you.
As a teacher once told me, "Pay attention to what your doing, never mind what the other kid is doing". If I listened to her earlier I might not have got in trouble so often. LOL!
