After having several people email me about the prices of Erich Stauffer figurines I attempted to make an Erich Stauffer Figurines price guide, but it was way more complicated than I thought.
I knew that the price varies by how clear the mark on the bottom is, whether a number exists or not, if there are any chips or cracks in the porcelain, and if it has a sticker. But I didn’t know exactly what metrics to use or what the official names of the figurines were or if the numbers on the bottom under “Designed by Erich Stauffer” were unique to each porcelain figurine or if that ID number tied it to a set.
What I found out by researching the completed Ebay auctions from the last 6 months was that:
- Not all Erich Stauffer figurines had paper tags glued to the front, some used tags on a string
- The ID numbers seem to correspond to groups of figurines, meaning they were meant to be sets – making collecting all of the figurines to a set more valuable than the individual figurine
- Some of the Erich Stauffer figurines have the same name, even though they aren’t part of the same set
- Some ID numbers are also re-used, even if they are not part of the same set
- If the number has a division symbol (/) it may be a limited run or made to look like it was a limited run
- I don’t know what the S or the U at the beginning of the ID stood for/stands for
- The prices of Erich Stauffer figurines ranges from $1.86 to $20.89 each with this limited sample:
