Is a SCCI smurf (sitting down with dove) actually worth anything without the certificate?

Hi Babylemming!
There is a brand new section on BlueBuddies that I think you will enjoy...
SCCI Smurf Figures
SCCI Figure Values
SCCI Collectables
As you already know, there were a limited number of SCCI Smurfs produced and each Smurf originally came with a numbered "Certificate of Authentication".
SCCI Smurfs with certificates will always fetch a higher price than those without the certificates simply because the collector can validate that his/her purchase is authentic. (And when people are paying big $$$, they want to know it is the real thing!)
Unfortunately, there are people that make fake SCCI Smurfs. They will simply take a mini Schleich figure and glue it on the Smurf figurine. So that's why the certificate is so important to many collectors.
That being said, some certificates are lost over time... so there are plenty of "real" SCCI Smurfs out there - they just don't have certificates! And people do still value them. For example, I've seen many SCCI Smurfs sell for between $50 - $200 on ebay! It just depends on what someone is willing to pay...
All in all, your Smurf with Dove figure is still very valuable (and cute!) and many people would love to have it in their collection!
I personally think the SCCI Smurfs are super cute (whether or not you have a certificate). The sitting Smurf with the Dove is really sweet! And I also like the Smurf with the pig!
I hope this helps out!

Hi Sassette! Thanks for the SCCI info!!
I always thought the one with the white dove was a turkey. I guess the "turkey of peace" doesn't really make sense though!! Unless its a piece of turkey (doh!)
I think I need a turkey sandwich for lunch! What was I talking about?

I love this new section. I learned a lot about the SCCI Smurfs I didn't know. For instance, I never knew there were two versions of the Smurf holding a gold pig!

Oh wow, thanks for that! Sorry it's taken so long to reply but I have been flat out here. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Oh that's great news - I don't intend on selling my smurf, but it's nice to know that it is worth something. I certainly hope it's authentic!

I know of several SCCI Smurf figures that are NOT listed on this site. There was a "Good Luck Smurf" designed exclusively for the SCCI, late 1987. Limited to 100 pieces. There was also a set of "Raw Promotional Figurines" Issued by Schleich in 1989. Each set contained 3 different Raw (or unpainted) Smurf figures of different molds and colors. There were 170 of these "sets" produced by Schleich for the SCCI. I have TONS of documentation from SCCI verifying these Rare Smurfs if anyone is interested.

Hello, Randy, welcome! The Good Luck Smurf that holds an elephant doesn't show his year in the checklist,
and in this link (belonging to a Belgian Smurf collector) you can see besides this figurine (other year) a set with three raw ones that you mentioned. I hope this shall help a bit.

Hello,
Nice to hear from a fellow Smurf collector. Thanks for the link. I found her website a while back and sent an inquiry but never got a response.
I have been reading through my old correspondence with Suzanne from the SCCI regarding "Raw" Smurfs (That's what she called them). It took her almost a year to get Wallace B. to agree to send her these Smurfs. He only agreed with the condition that they would be called "Promo" Smurfs.
Do you know anything about "Raw" Smurfs, SCCI issued or otherwise?
I currently have 3 sets and the certificate. I attached some pics for you from my collection.
Randy

You can see more about Raw Smurfs here. There are OMO Mini Smurfs, too, smaller than Smurf Schleich figurines.
