My Mom collected these from the very beginning. This is one of the most rare of the beanie babies, Peace bear from 1996. This is the original HANDMADE in China first edition. My Mom kept this along with many others in these protective boxes with tag protectors. We have decided after 3 years of her being gone to sell these. I will be listing others (she had several hundred so if you are looking for something specific, please ask). This rare little bear is perfect and as new as it was placed in a box and not handled. You can see from the pics and the tags that this is the original in superb condition. This is an opportunity for the collector. Thanks for your interest. Track Page Views With. Auctiva’s FREE Counter.
