Very Important Bears Bearb Ruth (Babe Ruth) Stuffed Bear, comes with original tag, measures 19.5''L x 14''W, Introduced in Spring of 1987 and Retired in the Fall of 1995, FYI: ''Odl Bauer, who sewed the first bear, joined Paul and Barbara Isenberg and together they worked on developing the VIB's (Very Important Bears). Using her English literature background, Barbara experimented with a variety of names and puns for these colorful 20'' velour bears. The first was Douglas Bearbanks, based on the legendary silent film star. He was followed by Scarlett O'Beara, Chef Bearnaise and Amelia Bearheart. The VIB's are all retired and often increase dramatically in value on the secondary market.''
