Hallmark Ornament Collection for Sale

[LOR Staff]

My father’s girlfriend has tasked me with selling her late husband’s Hallmark Keepsake Ornament collection.  A collection that can only be described as ‘A MFT of ornaments from around 1990 – 2013, beyond the scope of human imagination’.  I only have the first 3 boxes worth – I believe she said she has another 8 full boxes after these that I have not seen.  Hallmark Store explosion?  Check my office.  Chances are if it was sold between 1990 and 2013 at Hallmark, I probably have it (or will have it). 

Some go back as far as 1987 (that I have found so far).  She has complete sets (up to 2013) of things like ‘Decades’, ‘Crayola’, ‘All American Trucks’, ‘Classic American Cars’, ‘Fire Brigade’, ‘Corvettes’.  Also:  one-offs of a bunch of different cars, and collector club exclusives.  Some are even autographed by the original designers.  There are even a bunch of Enesco ornaments, if that was your thing.

If you or someone you know collects these, please put them in contact with me.  As I catalog each set/box I can give specifics of what she has.  I do plan on putting these on eBay in the future.  The ornaments themselves are all mint/near mint.  Some boxes do show slight storage wear.  Most boxes are ‘excellent’ or above.  A few are ‘Very Good’.

Here are the first 2 sets I have cataloged.  Prices as shown + shipping to you.  I don't believe in forcing you to haggle, so these prices are firm.  I intend on using Priority Mail, and you will pay exact shipping that I pay.

For the most part, these prices are 60% of the list price.  There are some rare and autographed which are higher.

Keep an eye on this post, as if there is interest I will be posting the other sets as I finish cataloging.  The next sets posted will probably be 'Decade' and 'Fire Brigade'.  You guys get first crack.  In a few days these are going up on eBay.

I’ll take the 1947 Chevy pick up if you’re selling them individually

Her late husband was a prolific collector.  I am not kidding when I say I have a ton of these ornaments.  But on top of that he collected Trains, Barbie's (well, I think she collected those), Hess Trucks, etc.  The every empty storage place in the house is literally packed with stuff.

Just recently I helped her & my dad load up a Pod with all the Barbie's (and barbie keepsake ornaments.  Sheesh!) , Hess Trucks, and trains to send to her daughter out of state (the grand kids wanted them).  We packed it tightly - from the very back to the very front, 4 feet high of stuff NRFB, most mint.

I was hoping to sell these as whole collections to another collector.  I will end up putting these up on eBay in probably 5 ornament lots..

I agree bud, these need to stay a collection. I have Hess trucks from when I was really little. Grant it, I’m 29. But I have quite a few of them from the early 90s.
