I'm wondering what the opinions are out there as far as what the really rare T's out there are. I know there's a few that I want that are asking a pretty penny and very hard to find, but I want to know what everyone thinks are the really rare gems.

What do you mean by rare? Species that are going extinct? Species that you dont see sellers here selling? There is a vast difference in the view of tarantulas being rare. Grin has a good list of species that are rare for sellers to sell but not very rare in the eye of the world.

Except for the immanis that becoming very popular for people to.sell along with the brachyramosa

Tarantulas that are uncommon or hard to find, something that you've been really wanting or doesnt appear often

I gotta go with I. seladonium too. I've been looking for a while to try and find some of those!
Agreed with E.olivacea too.

there are also +/- 600 species not available to the hobby so I guess the list of rare T's can go a long way...

It also doesn't help that some of the species that drop in the US take a while to get to Canada, and I'm sure the opposite happens as well.

The immanis and brachyramosa i have been seeing a bit more of since i got into the hobby.

What i really want to get my hands on is the Pamphobeteus sp.
I have searched and still can't find anyone with slings or successful breeding here in the US.

So agree! I remember going on a hunt for the slightest information on them with my mum about a year ago. I have a platyomma but thats the only species ive ever came across.

Haplopelma schmidti...I finally have one but by far the in the top 5 for hardest to get your hands on!! And the E.olivacea is becoming way more available than many others so in my mind still rare not very hard to get in my mind!
