I want to add this to my Teddy Bear collection. It's by Huntsman. Except if I go in to get it, they'll start talking coats ... I'll see cloth I like ... and I'll end up in the poor house.

Was this made by one of the apprentices? Look at that pattern matching on the ears

Interesting moment in book collecting: the limited edition market feels very frothy, with feeding frenzies occurring on a daily basis and new releases commanding every higher prices, the top end is now climbing above 5 figures and numerous titles being released in the $5-6K range, and selling out instantly. More than a few of those will be tough to resell for the original price a little ways out.

I'm about to spend a truly scary amount of money on a limited edition book, in the hope that it's a good investment. The guy I'm buying it from is making a sweet instant 100% return on his flip.
