Good Thursday Afternoon!

In the 27 plus years, I have been in the Collectible Industry, I have been responsible for destroying many MILLIONS of product!

Before we became eco conscience, the Collectible Industry threw hundreds (if not several thousand) rubber molds into the St. Joseph River in South Bend at the International Collectors' Exposition!

When i managed, the MI Hummel Brand, we would go to a local harware store, puurchase several hammers, spray paint them gold, and in a "cermony" then break a plate or figurine in order that collectors understoodd, we were protecting the collectible integrity of the piece and brand!

The cost of warehousing is expensive, yes, even in Maine.

Some Replicas are being donated to Museums, we are archiving some Replicas, Saving some for Prizes BUT some will be destroyed! That's a reality!
