Later production is common; price against completed sold comps rather than older guide-book highs.

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.
- Measure and include the suffix so buyers can compare correctly.
Warnings
- Check cross, hands, base corners, and glaze crazing.
- Religious scenes need clear photos of all projections.
- 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.
- Small Wayside variants can make title-only sold searches misleading.
