I saw this question posted from many many years ago but I was wondering if anyone had any current information on these plates. I have a complete set of 12 plates from the 1990s including a few duplicates. They are all in the original shipping boxes complete with original documents and never displayed.
I am trying to determine whether to sell them as a set or individually.
Thanks!!

Unfortunately, it looks like there are quite a few for sale on the internet. Also, Bradford Exchange made larger quantities for the most part.
When the supply is quite a bit different than the demand, the price drops lower. In this case, it looks to be so.
On eBay, they’ve got 480 listings and only slightly over 5% of that have sold. I’m sure it makes somewhat of a difference with having them in their original boxes with documents but just not quite enough difference at this time. 12 plates sold for $180. The rest went below a $100.
Minus the FVFs and the price you are getting for each plate drops lower.
I think you should hold on to them as they are selling too cheap right now in my opinion.
I’m sorry. I wish I could be more positive. They are beautiful plates though.

Unfortunately plates are hard to sell, unless someone is looking for the one from a set that they missed originally or a replacement. Younger generation are not interested in most cases…

All decorative plates in general do not in reality sell for much. My mother had the Russian Fairy Tales plates. No one even looks at them when I list them.
