Did you know The Hamilton Collection has Precious Moment collectibles that are EXCLUSIVE to them?? I just found out! Yesterday I came across an absolutely adorable new
Precious Moments collectible train sculpture which I have never seen before on GoCollect (which by the way, has the largest selection of PM figurines that I know of)... Try as hard as I could, I couldn't find this sculpture anywhere else!
And that's when I realized, The Hamilton Collection is an official licensee of the
Precious Moments brand... and that means the collectibles they produce are only available exclusively from them!
This revelation is important for two reasons - 1) It means that these collectibles are probably more rare than the ones produced by the Precious Moments company (which thousands of collectors get their hands on)... and 2) They are in forms other than just figurines, including market firsts such as train sculpture and carousels. The value of these collectibles should increase significantly due to their limited availability and exclusivity.
Back to the PM collectible I originally mentioned... I'll just let collectiblestoday talk about it
"All aboard! This delightfully warm-hearted Precious Moments® train is bound for your hometown to deliver loads of "loving, caring and sharing"! An exclusive first from the Hamilton Collection, and inspired by beloved Precious Moments creator Sam Butcher.
All decked out for the season with garlands and bows, each meticulously sculpted and hand-painted railcar connects to the next, just like an old-fashioned train. A great value, delivering smiles across the miles! Order today!
