On my earlier post, pictures of my collection were requested. I will take pictures of all of my artist bears later and post them to my picturetrail album, but here are a couple of my favorites that I already have pictures of stored in my computer. The panda is by Teri Crews and is sitting with one of my dolls, and the second picture is of Ellsworth by Bearfoot Elegance (Janelle Bruchu and Michelle Mitchell). I love all of my bears, but Teri Crews is one of my favorite artists. I have several of her bears.
Your bear is very sweet. I have been thinking about getting one in that style.
Hi, I am new here. I am a collector and I have bears by several artists here, and am hoping to acquire many more! My question is how do you keep current on values for OOAK pieces? I collect dolls and teddy bears and am trying to come up with amounts for the insurance company. Although I have been a collector for years, I have only started collecting artist bears in the last several years. I started off slow with the bears, but I am quickly picking up speed! Ebay seems to be a roller coaster as far as determining values. Do you recommend going by strictly what you paid, or the popularity of the artist or something else? Since no one else has a OOAK artist bear that I have, it is hard to know what kind of value should be placed on it in the event that something happens to it. I would appreciate any help!
