Makes a great gift!
Hi Everyone,
There are many of you that are asking what are Exclusives, GCC pieces, what POG stands for, etc. so I thought I would do a question and answer for you to help simplify it for you.
Those of you that are subscribers to the newsletter know that we have a question and answer section, and the answers can be found there however, I thought I would post them here on my page to help those that are new to the collection and have not yet treated themselves to a subscription to Lions, Tigers, and Boyds, OH, MY!!!
1) Question:
What does GCC stand for?
Answer:
GCC are the initials for Gift Creations Concepts. This means that they are retailers that belong to a syndicated catalog company, that make catalogues for those specific stores.They have terrific buying power thus treating us to goodies that cannot be found on our regular retailers shelves.
2) Question:
What are the Premiere Editions?
Answer:
These are Resin pieces that are found on QVC. Usually they are on January and August on Collector's days. (watch for the premiere of treats on the 16th of January)
3) Question:
What does NALED mean?
Answer:
NALED stands for National Association of Limited Edition Dealers. Much like the GCC and POG items these can only be found in special NALED stores.
4) Question:
What does POG stand for?
Answer:
It stands for Parade of Gifts. What this means is that the piece can only be found from a 'POG' dealer. They consist of retailers that participate in a catalog that carries these items. There are only about 350 of these type of special retailers, and the pieces are sometimes a bit harder to find, than say a GCC piece. More folks are a bit more familiar with the GCC retailers.
5) Question:
What are Limited Editions?
Answer:
These are pieces both plush and/or resin that have only a specific amount in their edition. For example, on QVC there are many Limited Editions that are plush exclusives (meaning only found on QVC that day) that have been available in 1200, 1800, or 2400 pieces. Also, there have been a couple of Limited Edition plush pieces from specific stores but this is quite rare.
Limited Editions are also found in the Resin line, such as The Flying Lesson, Ewell and Walton the Canadian piece, and Astrid Isinglass just to name a few. There are many more.
6) Question: What is an Exclusive?
Answer: It is a piece that is only available to a specific store or only to QVC or again, only to the members of POG, NALED or GCC stores.
7) Question: What is worth more money a 1E or a Premier Edition?
Answer: The piece that makes your heart smile. On the Secondary Market however, the ones sold on QVC that are Premiere Editions are selling for more money.
If you have more questions please send them to me and I will add them to both Lions, Tigers, and Boyds OH, MY!!! and in the future this list.
Hope this helps,
Laurie Anne

THIS JUST IN FROM SPARX FROM CANADA!!
PICTURE TO FOLLOW TODAY!
Sparx is very proud and thrilled to present their first store exclusive
Boyds Bear to you, and only the second store to ever receive a exclusive
Boyds Bear in Canada!!
CB “the skater” will be arriving in Canada Fall of 1999.
CB is a Limited Edition of only 3600!
Bc 94285PO $49.99 Canadian Dollars, which is approximately
$35.00 US dollars.
CB “THE SKATER” is a 12” fully jointed longhair sandy color bear
dressed in cream colored sweater with embroidered #12 on his chest he is
wearing blue jeans with the Canadian Emblem. CB is accompanied with a
Boyds Canadian Hand Made Hockey Stick! Each stick was individually hand
crafted. The name CB has many meanings for us CB – Cambridge bear, CB
Cambridge boys (and girls), CB-Canadian Boys (and girls) and…Chris
Blight.
Our inspiration came to us from a young right Winger on the Cambridge
Hawks AAA Minor Hockey in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada named Chris Blight.
Chris's hockey started at the young age of 5 years old, and we have been
observing his unwavering dedication, commitment and persistence. In 1999
now aged 16 Chris received the players choice award from his Team for
attitude, leadership, team play, and commitment. This year Chris's goal
will be making the Cambridge Winter Hawks Junior B Team. Chris always
accepts the challenges given to him; he has learned such things as how
to be gracious in both defeat and victory, and above all never has lost
sight of the Dream THE NHL.
The NHL dream is never far from the minds of our children who play
hockey. But the life experience from being involved in a team sport,
the dedication, commitment, persistence, disappointments, achievements,
and friendships made along the way, is a life experience that they will
have with them there entire lives.
THANK YOU DARLENE FROM SPARX FOR ALL OF THE INFORMATION. TO ORDER YOURS CALL

LAURIE ANNE
Well, since last Wednesday I have been so busy with the Summer Issue of Lions, Tigers, and Boyds, Oh, MY!!! that I have not had much time to devote to all of your e-mails.
Please excuse my tardiness, but I have so many projects going on at the same time, it becomes a juggling act! LOL
I hope to get the quarterly to the printers in the next week and then straight out to all of you.
NEWSFLASH~~~~~~~NEWSFLASH~~~~~~~~~``
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed a resolution yesterday
afternoon, 199-0, proclaiming Burke P. Bear "The Pennsylvania Ambassador for
Love, Peace, Having Fun, and Curing Cystic Fibrosis."
I am excited to report that Gary will be attending Rosemont. I know many of you were concerned that with his recent elective surgeries that he may not be there. Boyds had told me all along that he was going to be there so not to worry.
If he needs to stop the signing a bit early I know everyone will understand. We want out Head Bean healthy and back to his wacky ways........and don't forget we can look forward to seeing him appear on Collector's Day with Marie Osmond for the Today's Special Value that I told you about a few Wednesdays ago.
THANK YOU TO ANNE FOR THIS GREAT PICTURE OF THE TSV THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT SEVERAL WEEKS AGO!!!!
I am more and more leaning to a bi-monthly newsletter. I really need your imput. I know the last time I asked, you all wanted a once a month newsletter.My family obligations prohibit that however, but I may be willing to go bi-monthly.
Also, it would mean that it wouldn't be as large as it is now, please e-mail me privately and give me your thoughts.
Also, I have been hearing from you that you are looking for some of the older Mohair Bears, cats, furniture, and pins, you can e-mail The Christmas Barn if you want them.
XMASBARN@aol.com
Write to Nancy and ask her for the specific pieces you are in need of.
Also, another recurring question is where can I find the Boyds sweaters? Well, you can locate them at Homepun Treasures, by emailing AGIFT4HOME@aol.com
and writing to Paula. (ask her for her specially made jams and jellys---that's all my sons will eat! LOL)
Remember to pick up a copy of Teddy Bear Review magazine, Teddy Bear and Friends magazine, and Teddy Today magazine if you are unable to attend next years Teddy Bear Reunion Festival in Iowa.
When I spoke with my friends at Boyds about this a while back, they informed be that the Teddy Bear Committee in Clarion was excited to have 10,000 of the adorable Bearstones.
I suggest you try to get there in person to enjoy the weeks events but if you are unable to attend and wish for a Bearstone order yours through these fabulous publications, available at all book stores.
I am not sure, haven't checked yet, but you may even be able to locate one of these magazines through Amazon.com here on the Internet.
Until next Wednesday have a terrific week and if you haven't already sent your money for a subscription to Lions, Tigers and Boyds, Oh, MY!!! why wait?
Just send only $17 to:
Lions, Tigers, and Boyds, Oh, MY!!!

The Boyds Collection to Initiate Share Repurchase Program of Up to Three Million Shares
McSHERRYSTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 1999--The Boyds Collection, Ltd. (NYSE: FOB) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the repurchase of up to 3 million shares of the Company's common stock.
Boyds plans to make such purchases from time to time in the open market or in private transactions. The timing, extent and terms of the repurchases will depend on prevailing market conditions. Boyds has approximately 61.8 million shares outstanding.
"We believe the repurchase of shares represents an attractive investment opportunity for Boyds, in light of our consistently strong revenue and earnings growth, including in the most recent quarter ended March 31, 1999," said Bob Coccoluto, President of The Boyds Collection. "We will continue to monitor our capital structure going forward with a focus on maximizing shareholder value and returns," Mr.Coccoluto added. Last month, Boyds reported first quarter 1999 revenue and earnings growth of 16% and 30%, respectively, as compared to the same period a year ago.
Boyds is a designer, importer and distributor of premier branded, high-quality, hand-crafted collectibles which it sells through a network of approximately 20,000 retail accounts, including independent gift and collectibles retailers, high-end department stores and selected retail catalogues. Founded in 1979, Boyds has developed a strong market niche and brand identity in the collectibles market through its reputation for creating folksy and slightly off-center collectibles, which include plush animals, resin figurines, porcelain dolls, clothing and accessories.
With regard to open market purchases, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette will be coordinating the share repurchase program. Please contact the DLJ Corporate Trading Desk at (212) 892-3763 for more information.
Have a great week......See you Next Wednesday!

Saturday October 16th is going to be an exciting day for the Boyds world!!
( Exciting for me too....but that's a secret :o)
The Anniversary Edition Matthew Bear and a Special Event T.F. Wuzzie Collector Pin will be available for one day only!
This is a replica of the original 1984 Matthew (and he looks identical believe me) will by custom dyed with Genuine Australian Merino Wool.
He has a Paw Pad label and a Special edition Hang tag.
Even his ribbon around his neck is the same!
His cost is only $9.50 with a $20 purchase.
The original Matthew is almost impossible to find, and is worth so much money on the secondary market even if you were able to locate him.
This is our chance to all own the Matthew Bear!!
I am excited that the Boyds collection has done this exciting first!

GREENBOOK NEWS!!
I am thrilled to announce that the first Boyds GREENBOOK for Plush and Bear Necessities will debut early summer!
Our Resin Guide that will have additional Bear Necessities will be released shortly thereafter.
The reason for the two books, is so that you are able to easily carry these guides while "Boyding".
These are packed and filled with history not seen anywhere before!
You will love these guides, as they are filled with everything but the kitchen sink.......well, I have noticed my sink is missing :o)
To preorder from myself remember $1 will go directly to the Breast Health Center at New England Medical Center in Boston, Mass.
The first 100 checks received will give those 100 collectors a 5 X 7 of The Head Bean Hisself.
The cost of the book is $19.95 plus $3.20 to ship, Massachusetts residents please add 5% tax. Please mail your check to:
Lions, Tigers, and Boyds, Oh, MY!!!
P.O. Box 1393
Easton, MA 02334-1393
If you would like to include a separate check to go to Breast Cancer Research please make that check to:
Breast Health Center Research Fund and I will present your check along with one large one from the sale of the books to Dr. Roger Graham personally.
He is responsible for saving many, many lives and is committed to finding a cure for Breast Cancer.
He is my personal Doctor and I can't think of a more honorable surgeon and Director of Oncology .
Giving money to this research fund is very personal for me, and I hope to raise a lot of money for research at the N.E Medical Center.

Thank you for all of your patience while I have been working so hard for the last year and a half, and please understand there is still more for me to do, and I may not be able to answer e-mails as quickly as I would like to.
As always I wish you a wonderful day and a peaceful week,
