Awesome display!

I live a short drive from Hartland, Wisconsin and drove through there last week and wanted to tear through every old house looking for anything that was left hiding in an attic from Hartland plastics. I really should put some flyers up around that little town and see what happens.

I was big into Hartlands in the 1980's & 90's Had the complete set of originals and all the anniversery issues.. Of course the Groat was the last one to complete the original set Paid $300.00. all sold except my Ty Cobb Hartland & my Ty Cobb Bronze from Southland.

At one time I remember there was a person who repaired Hartland Statues ? Does anyone know anyone who repairs or restores them ?

His name was Frank Fulop… an original Hartland Employee who took on various repairs and restoration later in life. Frank was largely responsible for creating the original Hartland Statues. He would study the players to no end, and sketched them during major league games. His sketches were used to create the original Figures. You can read about him in the linked article, and his repair business is referenced in the second-to-last paragraph...

Below is another very informative piece, which includes everything you ever wanted to know about Hartlands, and their creation...

Unfortunately, Frank Fulop has passed away, and is very fondly remembered. You may try to PM/reach out to Fred McKie (whiteymet on net54). Fred is the Hartland Guru, and should be an excellent resource for suggesting your repair options.

Hope this is helpful, and best of luck.
