1. If you are looking for a current and up to date Boyds guide this isn't it! Check out the Boyds Tracker by Bangzzom for the latest and greatest guide.



2. As a new collector of Boyds bears, I was very curious about the mysterious "CVG" I kept coming across in various auctions. I went out and got myself a copy of CheckerBee's Collector's Value Guide. And I am glad I did! It is chock full of info about almost all the Boyds Bears, etc. that have been "put up for adoption." I just wish that the pictures were a little bigger and complete. There a few too many blank spots giving neither a picture nor any info. Someone should send in photos of the ones missing so the author could include them in future editions. I do not recall seeing an address for such.

   I also wish there were a quick way to reference "pairs", "trios" since everything is listed alphabetically by first letter within an animal it is not always obvious to the novice that a character may have a friend or relative. But having written all that, it is a wonderful guide with a nice look, quality glossy paper, interesting tidbits and places to write down notes, etc.

   It is a VALUE guide not a pure reference but it seems to be the best one out there and the one which is referred to the most. I may not buy it every year, the Boyds catalogues are great!, but maybe every two or three just to keep relatively current.




3. I found this years book to be lacking some pictures. I buy the book to help me make choices of what I will purchase this year so that was a let down.



4. I have been a collector of Boyds Bears and Figurines for the past 2 yrs, I found the book to be quite informative. Easy to follow, due to the layout and individual sections, Bottom of each page has it's own info area for you to fill out with each purchase. I see this book to be a companion for a long time to come. Would also recommend it to any person as a source of information about Boyds Bears. Looking forward to adding even more to my Boyds book collection.

5 comments about My Beanie Baby Binder.

1. I just recently dusted off my binder and tried to go to the website listed on the back. No site found. I searched for the binder on Amazon and found that the updates have been disc. I'm so disappointed because I thought it was best one offered for collectors. FYI, the last binder published was a Final Millennial Edition that includes a 12/31/99 Retired section. The one I have is signed by Peg, also. If anyone knows why the updates never happened, please respond.



2. I really love the book, but I can not find the refills for the notebook. Do you have an idea where I can find these.



3. I love my book but updates have stopped. I wish updates could be started again. I would recommend that the available books be purchased. The last update was Summer of 1999.I am having trouble finding updates. If any one knows how to get up dates, please e-mail me.



4. I love my book but updates have stopped. Perhaps there is a copy right infringement. I wish updates could be started again. I would recommend that the available books be purchased.



5. The Binder is great, the ony problem I am having is I can not find updates. If any one knows how to get up dates, please e-mail me.
