    Many factors will determine the value of a frog.

    1. Edition Size

    2. Condition of the piece

    3. Special traits such as: Full Signature, Enjoy, Numbers, COA included, Age, Color, and of course, Popularity

    I've tried to establish a good recollection of previous auctions and private sales. Feel free to ask me for an estimate on the value of any piece you may have or that you might be looking for.

    Mini Collection #1 Sunny, Sky, Sunset, Storm, Forest (all done in the edition size of 5000- all sold out!)

    This list is the complete list (To my knowledge) of the Sold Out and Retired Tim Cotterill Frogs as of August 2009.

    Almost every Artist Proof is sold out upon the new release of a Tim Cotterill Sculpture as they are sold in allocation. Show Frogs can be sold out in color variations even prior to the total BF edition selling out.  (Example: Purple Scout (Lucky 7)  is sold out in the edition size of 100 while Scout is still available in the edition of 5000)

    Tim's Frogs, Gecko's and Koi sell very quickly as thousands are sold monthly while his collectors base continues to growing rapidly world wide! Tim will take his show on the road this Fall as he has travel plans for the UK!

    I will continue to add information as it becomes available. Look in my store for many sold out and hard to find Frogs, Artist Proofs and Show Frogs

    Tim's frogs not only make lovely companions, they are fantastic investments as the secondary market will embrace their value and many of his sculpture continue to grow increasing more valuable over time. Buy frogs and leave the stock market alone! These frogs releave stress and increase overall happiness.

    Feel free to contact me with any Tim Cotterill related question. If I know the answer, I would be happy to share it! If I don't know the answer, I'll try to find it.

    The UK announced several shows later this year with the new launch of "Truffels"

    This Pewter Frog will be sold to many of the UK galleries and will carry the edition size of 250 in total. Scout has now been done in 4 color variations so this should be the last variation of scout we (the collectors) should see. 

    News on upcoming frogs very close to selling out:

    Vanquish has almost sold out! Less than 40 remain in the edition of only 200.

    Dew Drop and Hop To It have SOLD OUT in the edition of 200. This special edition was released in tandem with Sprout. The latest prop piece that really has the "AWWW" factor. This frog, in my opinion, is the cutest prop frog to date.

    Hibiscus will not make the end of the year (2008) Less than 300 remain of the 2000 edition.
