The stamping on the lower back indicates thats an original. Great pickup at that price. The Snider was one of the more limited produced Hartland baseball figures. There were 50,000 made. Here is some information on production numbers and possible values. The values are not realistic. The Snider you bought confirms that. I paid $125 for mine last year.

The new statues have anniversary stamped on the statue.

Hi Shale

Great pickup - good price - and nice addition to your Dodger collection!

As was already said - the 25th Anniversary copies have it stamped on the belt - from what I understand - I don't have any.

Having been raised in NYC - and also being a "Duke" fan - I would really like to feature - Duke, Mick and Willie together.

My first mitt was a Rawlings Duke Snider.

Congratulations on your pickup.

I had a complete set of original statues from 1950's-60's , all the 1980-90's reprints. All of the newer ones from the 1990's , Ty Cobb and all the others. It will be tough to get all the originals now, the Groat, Killebrew and Maris are tough.
