How rare is "rare"?

Hi guys we did a thread on the board I use for German medals on the relative rarity of certain pieces with some surprising results and wondered if anyone might be interested in the same thing over here relating to vintage SW items I for one would be really interested in the numbers of these that are in circulation amongst the forum members, If any one wants to add anything to the list let me know. If anyone wants to take part but doesn't want to post up what they have drop me a PM and I will change the numbers. only caveat i would add is to be carded it has to be original no reseals. Just post up the nubers you have added onto the previous post.

I would really take Yak Face off this. It isn't rare at all.

Just add your own numbers onto the last post, here are the current numbers (i goofed up and put down i had a carded DT luke instead of a DT luke), I dont think Yak is a rare figure i think before the internet days it must have been difficult to track them down in the USA and thats why they are "rare"

In my defence there are 4 known Pin head baggie variationg contary to the popular opinion of just the one SW-a type, so I'm not harding multiples

FYI there are a LOT of DT luke SW-a baggies out there, though TBH the DT figures have never done anything for me :?
