We also have a poster and some books:
Smurfs Wallace Berrie & Company, Inc.
WB Wallace Berrie & Company, Inc. 1983
Once in a Blue Moon Smurfs Portrait Poster
The poster has some tears in the top corners where it was hung, yet it doesnt affect any of the Smurfy info.

I'm interested in some of your items. How much is the Super Smurfs Collectors Center? What can you tell me about the Wallace Berrie & Co. books? Are they catalogs for dealers? How many pages are there of Smurfs? What is the price of each one? Thanks.

I'm researching and selling these items for my girlfriend. Let me tell you the whole story. Her father was a salesman for Wallace Berrie & Co. He sold Smurfs and of course my girlfriend enjoyed them growing up. As I mentioned this is her collection. Her parents are moving and we went to the house one last time and I saw all the smurfs for sale on a table and suggested they may be worth more than the $50 price tag. I was right.
That said, I'm only starting the process here by getting word out that we have a nice, somewhat unique collection. I'm unsure how exactly she wants to proceed. She's busy and she's only had the collection back for 4 days, yet in our brief discussions she said she was interested in selling the items as a collection, yet may be interested in selling pieces. I will talk with her ASAP, and see how she wants to proceed.
In regards to your question about the Wallace Berrie & Co. books - they are for dealers and I believe there is an entire laminated book of Smurfs along with a few books with Smurf sections. We also have an original, unused pricing sheet/receipt, which is probably pretty rare.
I haven't had time to dedicate to this process other than to get the word out. This weekend I will take detailed photos of everything including the 160 smurfs, the uncleaned collector's centers (I believe soap and water will make them "like new"), and the books and poster... We have some Smurf vinyl LPs too.
Thanks.

If anyone suggests these items are less than 1,000 for the lot please laugh in their face. this stuff only gets more valuable with the movie release. take your time and do right by your friend. I would kill for the catalogs. Wow. never thought i would see em.

Dear Sir, I just found your post regarding the collectors center display. I am in search for one for my granddaughters birthday in October. I actually had one (full of Smurfs) that I was going to give to them, unfortunately it was stolen and I am now in the process of redoing it for her 9th birthday. I would love to purchase one of your display centers.
