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.
- List before seasonal demand and show fragile reins or projections.
Warnings
- Check reins, animal edges, hands, and base.
- Holiday figures can have seasonal price swings.
- 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.
- Do not compare 396/I directly to the larger 396/III variant.
