The list is limited to items where there are 3 or fewer known examples.

Hmmm ... to me that sounds like a very wrong rule.

Well if anyone can think of a better rule to minimize the items in the list AND can maintain it, feel free to suggest it.
Moreover, I have included some items myself but I expect collectors owning other rare ones to let me know so that I can update the list.

Michael Hi Mike, Of course I understand where you're coming from. If we bend the rule too much, the list will get endless. I see that. I just think the white spitball f.e. is extremely rare (so rare a lot of people don't even know about their existence), maybe even more so than some of the items that are in the list right now. It's just that we know there must be around 5 in the world, but that's just because we already know about the white spitball's since a few years (and besides, we don't know where 3 of the 5 are, right?). So what are we going to do if another 3 NOA DKH's show up through the years? Remove the item from the list? I just think the rules of 3 or less is good as a basis, but we should add some other items which are very rare altough we possibly know of more than 3 to exist. Just comon sense I guess. Not that I really care though ... I was just speaking my thoughts. ;D Regards, sAner

I fully understand the need to keep the list extra-short. In that case, we now need to remove the Pokka MB!

That's what I was saying ... ;D You will get an ultrashort list within a few years with this rule.

The Pokka Mario will be removed soon.
When I created the list, I made some preliminary calculations to decide on how to minimize the items. If we included items that 5 or 6 people own then I calculated that the list would include at least 50 items! After a few years only the extremely rare items would be present in the list and that's what I'm after.
I can include the white spitball, give me a link to a photo Andy.

I understand your reasons Mike and I think it's indeed a good thing to keep the list extra short. The white spitball is just the exception that confirms the rule. Regards, sAner
