I had to stop collecting bears about a year ago. I got most of them in the Hallmark shops and the others from eBay.  I ran out of storage room for them, and my interests went into collecting other stuff like ancestors and mission spoons.

Here are some of my favorite bears. They have been certified by G. M. Lowenthal, "The Head Bean Hisself, to be a Gen-yoo-ine True-Blue Boyds Bear Creation."
