Introduction

"Aren't they cute? I just have to get this one because it
reminds me...."

And that friends, is how it starts! Those little resin Bearstones^TM.
Those little bears, hares and even a few cats sneak right into your
heart. The next thing you know, you're a collector.

Some of you are serious collectors and some are casual collectors,
but collectors none the less. So, how do you know that the Bearstone^TM
packages you buy are the real thing? How do you authenticate every-
thing about your prizes? And what about the box? And what about
the value versus the price? And what about the card? And what
about the packing? And what about...?

Questions, questions, questions...so many questions. We are going
to answer your questions. But be warned, as you learn, the more
questions you will have. At first glance the collecting of Bearstones^TM
seems simple and unopposing. In a way it is. Yet, there will
be a day when you will see something you do not know about or
understand. You will ask yourself a question. You will check
around a little. More questions will come to the fore. The
seeming simplicity of these Bearstones^TM now becomes complex. This
is when you will pick up this Handbook to answer your question.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Read each Chapter in sequence.
Reread the Chapter and assimilate the information. Then move on to
the next Chapter. The organization of this manual is designed to
set down fact, build on these facts and then establish the inter-
relationship of all facts.

We recommend that as you read you have a Bearstone^TM with you as a
reference point. This will provide you with "hands on" understanding.

At times the information may seem like too much. Do not despair.
There are no time limits on how long it takes to learn. Each step
you take is a step ahead. It has taken us years to grasp the
seeming complexity of the Bearstone Collection^TM. We continue,
even today, to search for more facts and answers to questions.

So where do we begin?

We begin with something every Bearstone^TM collector knows about--
