ITPC SUMMER 2008 EXTRAVAGANZA AUCTION
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 8/23/2008
This terrific looking wood carved mascot is a close relative to the Carter-Hoffman figurines. It is part of a college mascot series issued by Anri of Italy. Many novice collectors mistaken this series for the Carter-Hoffman statues, but there are a few subtle differences. The Anri statues are not as well defined and are usually slightly larger than their "C-H" counter-parts. That being said, they are a gorgeous ,highly collectible and very under-valued. This Cornell Bear is a real beauty. It stands about 5" tall. It has super bright coloring and would have to grade near mint.
