Estimate from the mark, not the myth

Hummel resale value depends on the exact HUM number, the TMK mark on the base, condition, size suffix, and how quickly the seller needs to move the piece. Older crown and full-bee marks can matter, but damage, missing accessories, and weak sold-comps evidence can erase that premium.
