This is the brand new Collector Series Starbucks Mug from Seattle where Starbucks started. Seattle is one of the first cities released in the new series along with the Pike Place mug and the city of Portland. Other cities are rolling out now.
This mug was just released and all of the previous Seattle city mugs are now discontinued and out of production.
This beautiful mug features The city name Seattle over a beautiful image of Mount Rainier, the volcanic mountain that hovers over Seattle on one side and the Seattle skyline and Space Needle on the back side.
The CollectorSeries is the newest collectible mug series and replaces the Architect series. They are very beautiful and will be the next hot collectible.
The Seattle mug is one of the most sought-after mugs because this is where Starbucks opened their first store. Today the store is one of Seattle's leading tourist attractions.
All of my Starbucks mugs are brand new --never used. I rarely sell a used mug and if I do it will be clearly spelled out in the auction.
I offer Free US Shipping on this mug
In 1994 Starbucks started the collectible city mug series. They produced mugs from dozens of major cities --first in the US and later all over the world. The city mugs became instant collectibles. Travelers were bringing them home from all over the country and the world.
The original plan was that you could only buy a city mug in that city. BUT - in 2004, Starbucks found themselves with a large quantity of overstocked mugs and they started selling them in other cities. Collectors went nuts! Starbucks received hundreds of complaint letters from collectors who had paid big bucks for mugs from distant cities. (Some of the rarest ones such as Paris, Jerusalem, Alaska, Barcelona and Malta can sell for over $100 each. Other hard to get city mugs vary in price on eBay from $50 to $75.)
After all the mail and even negative newspaper articles, Starbucks promised never to sell the mugs out of their home city again --thus insuring the collectability and price stability of one of the hottest advertising collectibles in the world. Collectors are worldwide. I have sold Starbucks mugs to buyers in 15 different countries. This worldwide interest insures the collectability and steady increase in value of the mugs.
I collect Starbucks mugs and often sell Starbucks mugs and other collectibles on eBay. Please see my other auctions. If you win more than one item, I can combine them to save you shipping cost.
Shipping and handling and insurance for this mug is $5.90 via USPS Priority Mail to anywhere in the US. Yes - I could ship it cheaper, but this way you get positive delivery confirmation and your mug a lot faster
