I tried to find this combination online—Santa Monica precancel over 2 cents—but I couldn't succeed. Does that mean it's not interesting, or is it perhaps rare?

Neither. It means you have not looked in the right place.

All I know is that it's not listed in the PSS Bureau catalog . . .

You won't find it in the "Bureau Catalog".since it's not a Bureau precancel.
The device is listed in the "Town and Type" catalog, style 263.

Thank you for your comments and help, but I still haven't been able to find any example of that stamp. I tried searching for it on ebay and Google using the image search, but it didn't show up anywhere. I don't have access to the catalog, and I still don't have an answer on whether it's common or rare. Thank you again... I hope someone else will join the discussion and help.

This precancel type for Santa Monica lists at 20 cents (2019 edition of Town/Type catalog), which generally makes the type too common to be a separate Ebay/Hipstamp lot unless on an uncommon denomination.

Thank you for the explanation. I've seen Town/Type Santa Monica stamps being sold for 15-20 cents, so it's strange that this one hasn't appeared anywhere.

" You won't find it in the "Bureau Catalog".since it's not a Bureau precancel."

Since I only have the Bureau catalog, I figured that out . I kinda figured he would figure he would need to look elsewhere, or maybe I'm too optimistic . . .
