Breyer 2009 JCP Holiday G3 Palomino App Cantering Warmblood Photo Show Pkg GR8T!

Description

For sale from my personal collection and show string, this gorgeous gal is the popular Breyer Stablemate Cantering Warmblood Mare, #410512, released in a beautiful shimmery palomino appaloosa as part of the JCPenney Holiday Catalog "Parade of Breeds VI" collection.  This version was retired in 2009, and is sure to become harder to find as time goes on!
This model has a lovely paint job, with gorgeous rich, golden color and lovely shading, and great detailing. She is very good condition overall, with no major rubs, scratches, or scuffs. Being picky (and keeping in mind I go over my Stablemates with a magnifying glass, literally), she does have some small flaws here and there in her paint job; the ones I noticed were a faint line on her left barrel, a tiny spot of stray golden paint on her left pastern, and a bit of roughness on the edges of her appaloosa markings.  I have another of this model that I am keeping (it's the only reason I could make myself sell this one!), and the masking edges are the same, so I'm guessing that may be typical of the paint style on this model.  It's still an exquisite appy job, and this is a beautiful little horse. I REALLY hate to let her go, but she has been cooped up in a box for too long. This beautiful model needs to be out on display, or in the show ring, and will be a terrific addition to any model horse enthusiast's collection or show string.
Speaking of show strings, this model will ALSO come with 2 digital halter photos, and ready to hit the show ring for her new owner!  Please see the last two photos; these ARE the show photos the buyer will receive,
without
, of course, the "EBAY ONLY" stamp.  I will send the pair of halter show photos in two sizes: one set at 600 pix on the longest side, already sized for the standard requirements of most online model horse photos shows, and the other set at 1600 pix on the longest side, larger for printing. These will be sent as attachments to his new owner once sale of this horse is confirmed and payment received.  Don't wait to trot this girl out to the show ring - she is ready to go!
This beautiful horse has been meticulously kept in a non-smoking home, and is ready to grace your shelves. I am ferociously picky and my standards are high, but those of others may vary, so please ask any questions before you bid!  Everyone has their own opinion, and what might drive me completely nuts might be inconsequential to someone else (or vice versa, though honestly the latter hasn't happened yet). I try to provide very, very detailed descriptions, and I am happy to answer any inquiries. Sale of this model is final, so I want to make sure the new owner is as pleased with her as I have been.
I am embarking on a downsizing of a model horse collection spanning 40+ years. As I don't want the reverse process to take as long, I am offering models, mainly discontinued and SR/Ltd. Ed. OFs, many at reduced starting or BIN prices. I tend to list only a few models at a time, so I can give each transaction as much attention to detail as possible. If you are looking for something specific, check back here as you search - I just may have it listed!

This does NOT mean you have to PAY within three business days! Just let me know you are aware you've won the item and what you intend to do about it. ;-)  I am happy to work with buyers on payment(s). Unfortunately, I've had to tighten up my policy to avoid having unpaid items tied up for weeks when winning buyers simply disappear.

Insurance over that amount is EXTRA and is the buyer's responsibility. If you are the winning bidder on an item over , please let me know ASAP if you would like additional insurance.
