This guide will focus on the gaps between each tier of the rares list and how to trade up and how pets are valued in comparison to each other. In order for this break down to make sense, you MUST read the entire post. Otherwise you may get confused. Only the first pet on a certain tier will be shown, to save space. Some pets will be used instead of a generic term such as "mid-September".

Obviously I'll edit the front part to make more sense,
but I started with just above the big gap since that's the most complete I had time to format the second part of the main list, so now it's updated.. Please let me know if the way I broke it down doesn't make any sense. Also let me know if you disagree with any of these values! I had DD look over a few but we actually don't see eye to eye ourselves with some rarities, so please nit pick it. :) Some pets will be moved around during the next update, so some of these values might be a bit moot, but for now let me know what you think.
Also please keep in mind that the 'big gap' just means that the gaps between pets is vastly larger than before, not that you have to pay like five of what's below to equal what's above. I think I really did a bad job of explaining that and it's made it difficult for some people and I apologise.
Once I fiddle with these I want to have a thorough discussion about the location of certain pets, mainly the Joker and BA, and whether we want to place them where they're on the list based on what people are paying now, or leave them as is. Obviously there are pros and cons to both, but keep in mind I'd like to discuss it, but
not yet. One thing at a time! cx
