updating our inventory Contact Us
or check this site in a few days.
Are the ornaments new, never displayed and/or never removed from the box?
We get our inventory from many sources so do not always know these specific ornament
conditions. Where we can we will note this information. We do, however, guarantee that
all the items we sell are new or in like new condition with only the box conditions
varying unless ortherwise noted. Our condition references relate to the box condition only. For example, with
a MIB ornament, you will receive a perfect ornament in a new or like new box. A like
new box may show some very slight wear but have no creases, dents, tears or written
marks. The price tag will be attached
If there is no box condition noted with an item, what is it?
Due to space and time constraints we cannot note box condition on the initial listings
unless other than Mint. Once you click on the actual item you will see the box condition
noted. The collectibles are always mint unless noted in the specific item description.
What does SDB, DB, NT, etc. in the item list or description mean?
These are standard abbreviations for Hallmark Collectibles referring to box condition only.
The ornaments or collectibles are always undamaged unless noted in the specific item description.
We will note below the abbreviations and a brief definition.
SDB - Slightly Damaged Box - The ornament is mint but the box may be dented, creased,
slightly torn, marked or show more than normal shelf wear.
DB - Damaged Box - Again, the ornament is mint but the box is definitely damaged.
NT - Not Tag - The ornament is mint and the box is new or like new but has no price tag attached.
NIB - New In Box - The ornament and box are new and the ornament has never been displayed.
NRB - Never Removed From Box - The ornament and box are new and the ornament has never been
out of the box most often the box has not been opened.
What are Colorway Ornaments?
Colorway ornaments, also known as repaints, are Hallmark Keepsake ornaments that have all
or part of the ornament painted a different color than the original ornament in the
Keepsake Collection. They are produced by Hallmark in limited quantities compared to the
line ornaments and used as prizes or incentives for various events and situations. The
secondary market value of these items depends on how many were produced, how difficult
they are to get and the popularity of the original ornament or its series. Most of these
items are boxed in the same box as the original line ornament but have a gold sticker on
the front upper corner designating the event or situation for which they were produced.
However, the earliest colorways/repaints were boxed in original boxes with NO colorway
sticker or designation to note the difference in the ornament
