2003 Holiday Teddy 40028 Retired Christmas Ty Beanie Baby Plush Bear MWMT

I was a big collector of Beanie Babies from about 1998 - early 2000's. I am going to start offering some of my collection as auction-style listings - I have a wide variety! If you are looking for a particular Beanie, feel free to contact me. Most are MWT, having had the swing tags in protectors. Not all tags have been protected though - each listing will have the pertinent details for the Beanie. Questions welcome. This is the 2003 Holiday Teddy style #40028. He was introduced on 09/30/2003 and retired just about 3 months later on 12/26/2003. A very cute bear, whether you're a collector or not! He wears a Santa hat decorated with mistletoe designs and a green velvet scarf with red tassel ends. The poem on his swing tag reads: "The holidays are a special time And so I have a special rhyme May your holidays be filled with cheer And have a wonderful New Year!" Always kept in a non-smoking environment, 2003 Holiday Teddy is in mint condition with a mint tag that has been kept in a tag protector. I am listing Beanie Babies from my collection as time allows; if you are looking for a particular Beanie, please reach out! Thank you.
