Carter Hoffman College Mascot Carvings
 

Anyone here collect them? I, sadly, had to sell my LSU craving today. I haven't seen anyone here post about them.

Here is the one I just sold

Keep checking Inside the Park Collectibles Website. They specialize in these, and usually include a few in their auctions. There are none in the current "Blow Out Auction" because it seems to focus on lower-end stuff. I know they'll have a few in the auction after this...

You might want to call Lou over there, and see if he has one for direct sale. He's a good person to work with...

Hope this helps

I saw a Kansas State Carter piece sell on Ebay about two months ago. Very cool. If anyone has one of those, I would be interested in acquiring it. Inside the Park Collectibles has had many of these pieces in recent auctions. I think they look pretty cool myself.

Does anyone know if a Michigan State or Indiana Carter Hoffman exists?

In the upcoming auction Inside the Park will have four Carter Hoffman's, they are:
Georgia Tech
OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE
Columbia
Ohio

About 4 years ago I was at a flea market and a vendor had five of them for sale for $25 apiece, I snatched them up and sold them in Lou's auction for over $2000. My biggest find ever.

I have always liked them and have always wanted a UNC Tarheel but don't know if it exists.

There is a UNC Tar Heel - one was recently auctioned (within past few months) on eBay. I'd love to add a Duke Blue Devil to my collection - I've seen a picture so I know one exists

There is a very nice recent piece on the figures at the Collectible Ivy blog. They show a couple of photos of both Harvard and Yale figures with a short story about the company.
