PRICED TO SELL !                                       ~ PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BELOW SO YOU WILL FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT A RARE SET YOU WILL BE GETTING!  Adorable Grinch is on 5 of the pieces!                                                          ~ One of the Hard to Find Bookends is signed by Robert Chad the Sculptor of the Piece! RARE !         ~ This piece is Exquisite!    Awesome in person! ~ The Dr. Seuss collecton!  All of the 15 pieces in the catalog included ! All of my Figurines are Numbered Editions and all are 1st Editions! I called all over the United States so I could get all 1st Editions ( After the 1st Editions Hallmark produced other Editions 2E, etc ) It was Extremely difficult to get all 1st Editions which start with 1E. Each figurine is marked on the bottom of the piece!   None of the pieces have been displayed & are in their original boxes from Hallmark! This set is Awesome when you see the pieces in person! They would be Great dispalyed in a curio cabinet or on a shelf !   The picture is from the catalog from Hallmark when the set was released! You are seeing pictures from the catalog. It would be very time consuming to take every piece out of the boxes & take pictures. They of course look much nicer in person than in a picture from a catalog!  It would be very hard to find a complete set but think of hard difficult to find 1st Editions! When I went to the Hallmark Stores some stores had 1st Editions while others did not so I spent alot of money on phone calls & shipiping contacting Hallmark stores all over the country seeking the 1st Editons. There are most likely not many people in the World that would have a set like mine! The Brochure had 15 pieces in the set & you will be getting every piece in the Brochure!  Considering the original cost, plus time  plus phone calls plus shipping charges plus gas, etc. I don't think the price is too bad! You might be able someday to find all the 15 pieces but I doubt if you would be able to make a set like mine! I just couldn't accept having some of my Numbered Pieces #1e, #2e, #3E , Etc.!  I bought these pieces in the year 2000 & the pieces from this set are no longer produced from Hallmark! This is what the inside of the brochure says: The Dr. Seuss Collection includes a wide variety of decorative collectibles that evoke fond memories for grown -ups and bring warm smiles to kids of all ages!      A- Limited Numbered Edition Figurines - all 1st Editions marked on the bottom of each piece  B- The Ends ( 2 Bookends ) pictured do not include the books shown in the brochure  C- The Ends (Bookends) are Hard to Find & are Awesome & on one of the pieces is SIGNED by Robert Chad, the person that sculpted the piece! This is Very Rare!  D -All Limited Numbered Edition Dr. Seuss Collection pieces come with a Certificate of Authenticity and a Collector's card featuring fun facts about your favorite Dr. Seuss books and characters!   E- All pieces come in their original boxes and the pieces have not been displayed!                                                                                                                                   ~ It is  really Cool!       NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!  INSURANCE REQUIRED  DO TO THE FACT THERE ARE 15 BOXES IT IS DIFFICULT TO GIVE YOU AN ACCURATE AMOUNT FOR THE SHIPPING.
