Rarity

Rarity is a measure for items that are exclusive to a group of players. An item is defined as rare if it is old and has not been reintroduced.

Definition
A player who has had an account for a very long time usually owns many rare items, and is generally looked up on by newer players. For example, the Hawaiian Lei given out in January 2006 - 3 months after the public release of Club Penguin - is considered rare because many players who had it have stopped playing the game, leaving a small amount of players still with item and rendering it rare to come by. Players usually demonstrate their "rareness" by wearing their oldest clothes and showing their ability to match the clothes of any penguin they come across, leading to competitions where players try and match each other until one fails to do so.

List of Rare Items
Rare items are either old, making them not always available, which makes it "rare" or one-time items (Anniversary hats, pins, etc). Rarity is a long sought after goal in new penguins.

The items listed below are "rare" because they're only available in some parties, etc. Some of them will never return (confirmed by the Club Penguin Team).

Names
Some names are considered rare in the fashion that they are common words that would be in high demand and that only one lucky player was able to claim it first. Rare names are usually four letters or have no numbers in them (indicating the fact that nobody has claimed it before). Here are a few rare names, of which, have already been taken and most that have taken them are Beta Testers.

Trivia

 * Anniversary hats and pins will never come back, making the Beta Hat and Shamrock Pin the rarest items you could get.
 * Most rare items are normally non-member, such as party hats, Christmas Scarf, etc.
 * Club Penguin confirms that all rare items (except pins and party hats) will come back some time.
