I have a simple way of judging a pin on rarity.

I go by production numbers only, year it was made does not matter, nor the theoretical percentage of whats left after so many years.

1500 made and above is "Common". Under 1500 made is "Uncommon". Under 1000 is "Rare" and under 500 is "Super Rare".

Just my 2 cents.

Quoted from Electrocute:

Over 3100 of these were made, seems rare to me. Toughest game I ever located.

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!
