Jan van Haasteren Rare – which puzzles are these?

I have made an overview of Jan van Haasteren's puzzles, which I think are rare. How did the list below come about? Purely from my own experience! I regularly buy and sell rare puzzles from the list below on marketplace or via Facebook marketplace or via Ebay or other foreign trading platforms. What the purchase and sales prices are, I have kept an eye on that (and experienced it myself!) and on that basis the list below has been created. I have been making Jan van Haasteren puzzles for a number of years and have noticed that some puzzles are rare for one reason or another. It's not clear to me why some puzzles are rare. Because that means that not many of them have been put into circulation. I understand that from the special editions (for example a Jan van Haasteren 'Nijmeegse Vierdaagse', which is released by a Woonboulevard. That is then a special edition. Or a CBR issue of the Jan van Haasteren 'Traffic Chaos').
But why, for example, a puzzle like Sports Day 2 is so rare is a mystery to me. Is there a certain maximum number of puzzles that are then made by Jumbo for these variants?

When is a puzzle rare?

A puzzle is rare if there are few of them in circulation and if it is difficult to get. I hereby but agree with the definition of rare = “Relatively few in number. Rare is having a small distribution or being present in small numbers within a certain area.”
Oh yes, by the way, often quite a lot is paid for a rare puzzle. Collectors in particular are willing to do anything to get hold of that one missing Jan van Haasteren puzzle. This is of course different for the 'ordinary' puzzler, who may not have 50 - 80 euros left for a puzzle of 16 pieces. So the value a puzzle can have is different for everyone. One puzzler only wants to pay 10 euros for it, while another puzzler may be willing to pay 80 euros for the same puzzle! Furthermore, the list below is not a ranking list. It doesn't mean that the top puzzle is the rarest or the bottom one. It's an arbitrary list. Do you have an addition to this list? Then email me!

Just how expensive are these rare puzzles?

It is of course interesting to know how much more expensive these puzzles are than normal puzzles. I have made a table with recommended prices of rare puzzles by number of pieces if you buy them second-hand. You can roughly assume 0,01 eurocent per puzzle piece for a not-rare puzzle. You will then get the following table:

Number of PiecesTarget price not rare puzzle
15 Pieces€ 0,15
20 Pieces€ 0,20
160 Pieces€ 1,60
250 Pieces€ 2,50
350 Pieces€ 3,50
368 Pieces€ 3,68
500 Pieces€ 5,00
