TY Beanie Buddy "THE BEGINNING" (Special Olympics Edition)

Beautiful, rare (2 tags - TY and Special Olympics) Special Olympics "The Beginning" bear buddy (from a collection). The Beginning Bear was used as a promotional bear during the 2001 Special Olympics in Canada. The Special Olympics commemorative version came with the extra Canada customs tush tag and an extra Special Olympics swing tag. Comes with the Certificate of Authenticity from Special Olympics. This buddy stands approx 14" tall. Buddies are larger than the Ty Beanie babies and are made with a material called Tylon, which is extremely soft, smooth and specifically designed to hold vibrant colors. Item is in brand new condition - has been tag-protected, stored in a cool/dry place, from a smoke-free home, and has never been played with. Has some "fur" wrinkles from storage, which should relax over time. Feel free to ask me any questions. New to Poshmark?
