THE Dollar Teddy Bear Prototype

This is the famous “Dollar Teddy” prototype. This piece came out of an exceptionally large prototype lot back during proto gate. The other famous pieces found with this guy included the Picasso Teddy and the Shaggy Teddy. While these guys are “later” prototypes, they captured the collecting community by storm because they were SO far outside of the box. This guy first fell into a six-figure collection for a decade, then fell into a blackhole collection where it hasn’t been seen or heard from since. This is one of those pieces that pulls you in and refuses to let go. Complete with advent tags, it is rumored this was an experimental billionaire design…but this guy, in our opinion, is way cooler than any billionaire style that emerged.

Rarity Rank: 0 to -0.5. This piece, while not the oldest, is quite famous, and so utterly unique! A -1 style to the right collector. This is one piece this author personally tried to secure for years, but could not afford:(. See below for a view of this guy and Picasso in an old collection together!
