Seller notes
- Photograph the HUM number, trademark mark, any paper label, and all damage before pricing.
- Search sold comps with the exact HUM number plus the common title, then adjust for TMK and condition.
- Include box, paperwork, and shipping plan details when present.
Warnings
- Check animal details, base, and large surface crazing.
- Box and paperwork can matter more on later large issues.
- Do not treat this seed range as an appraisal or a guaranteed sale price.
- Verify size variants because downsized, larger, and paired versions can price very differently.
- High suggested retail values are not the same as realized resale prices.
