I can't find my GUND anywhere, even on Bear St.!
Can't find your GUND at Bear St.? Even on the Family Album?
Since Gund discontinues roughly 75 items each and every year in order to make way for new
products coming onto the market, many favorites may no longer be available. Further, it is
very common for a given animal to remain on the market for only 2 or 3 years. This is with the exception of seasonal
items (bunnies, chicks, Yulebeary) that are intended to be available only during the year of original introduction and applicable season.
If you can't find your favorite among the entire Bear St. collection, it is very possible that your
Gund has been retired. Smile! You have something very special!
If you are looking for an animal featured in a Bear St. banner,
these wonderful creations have largely all been retired by GUND. Bear St. immortalizes
these animals by putting them online, however, they are not intended to indicate that they are available
until overtly advertised.

Valuing your GUND treasure
It is Gund's official policy not to determine the collectibility nor value of discontinued or retired Gund items. Gund feels that the
value received from the sale of their items is determined by the secondary market over which they do not want to pose an influence. There are many
books published on the subject, some of which will include Gund in their endeavours. These publications may be found in local libraries or bookstores.
What are GUNDs made from?
All GUND animals are made with synthetic fibers, and are stuffed with GUND's special stuffing (secret
recipe). If beans are included in the animal, they are plastic pellets. This information is made with
the best of our knowledge.
