Tyra With Pomp Poms
For the past two
and a half years, we have not
covered or included Tyra with pomp poms
on the site or in the price guide. Due to the number of questions, rumors,
and inaccuracies pertaining to this interesting piece, I believe it is time to
explain why.
When Tyra first showed up with pomp poms in the fall of
1999, I was told by a
representative in the Ty legal department that the ones, including the one I
provided them for inspection, that came from Canada were stolen. I respected
the fact that since Ty had not officially released the piece, we should not to
include it in the price guide.
Last year when we did the price guide for Beanies and More, we had Mary Beth ask
Ty if we should include Tyra with pomp poms
in the price guide, and were politely told that since they never sold the piece,
they did not believe it should be
included in the price guide.
We have now heard from several sources that recently
Ty Canada has sold a few Tyras with pomp poms as well as other scarce Ty pieces.
However, until I hear differently from Ty headquarters that they have been
officially released, we will not include them in the price guide.
