The CVG Error Guide
While the Collectors Value Guide™ continuously
serves as a wonderful resource for Boyds Collectors, there seems to be a few errors with
each printing. (hey, nobody's perfect!) This web page can be used as a friendly exchange
of information regarding CVG errors.

been around long enough to make it into the book.
3. No Mr. BoJANGLES from QVC.
4. They did have a Harry from Lord and Taylor BUT no Sally (same bear, different
sweaters).
5. There seems to be a lot more Exclusive pictures missing in this year's book.
6. The picture of Oxford (as light brown bear) is actually TOWNSEND and vice versa!
1999 PLUSH GUIDE
From: Melissa - tmkkg9@rochelle.net
1.) Edmund Fall 97 and Matthew Fall 97 pictures are reversed
2.) The picture of Elloit B. Bean is not him ( Looks like Albert)
3.) The Ophelia pictured is right for that # they just omitted the red flannel PJ version
4.) The rabbit pictured is not Fergie. (she's blueish gray & not chenille)
5.) They made no mention of Kayla Berrimore from QVC December 98.
From: Aimee aimee@thematterhorn.com
For 99 plush guide- Picture of Thisbey F. Wuzzie and Twilight F. Wuzzie

From: Tia - Tpesko@aol.com
P68 Father Christmas is really Niklas who is also shown on page 176
Fillmore is shown only as QVC on page 167. I got my red tag Fillmore at a gold paw dealer.
He is being sold by QVC but is not an exclusive.
From: betts@downcity.net Christine
On pg. 86 Ophelia W. Witebred is the wrong bear. It should be the ophelia in the red
flannel.

There is no mention of Valerie Dubeary a GCC exclusive. Her tag says 1985-98.
1999 RESIN GUIDE
From: Elizabeth EHarm60928@aol.com
I have Wendy Willowhare in a 1st edition and she was originally introduced as
Wendy Willowhare & Pip. However, I noticed there in no Pip to be found. I noticed the
later editions just say Wendy Willowhare.
From: featsent@alltel.net
and djodry@netusa1.net
They only have one Catlin with Emma& Edmund listed. The Kirlin's exclusive is not in
the 99 book.

Grandma FaerieHugs(wee folk) was a PE
The bride faerie was also a PE
All dollstones on the Jan.16 Collectors Day show were PE's
From: Tia - Tpesko@aol.com

it.
Wilson with Love Sonnets has a RS version.
P 52 Bee My Honey- the actual name of this piece is Bailey...A Little Bit of Honey and has
a variation of HBM.

1998 Guidebook Errors
So far Harry Croft said that the Polaris retirement is a error. He hasn't heard any news
of this. Have a great day! :o) Thanks Donna!
Many Collectors have noted the obvious omission of the very rare
and valuable ($835) Canadian Elf Bear from the "Bearstone Top Ten" list!
Thanks Sunny!
Several folks have commented on the lack of secondary prices for
the pins - we know some of those old retired gems have gone for much more than the retail
price of $4!
Page 49 shows Clarion Bear instead of Bailey w/Suitcase SFMB.

These are mistakes I have found:
- Constance & Felicity is listed as having editions, but it is a limited
edition & just has piece number & no editions.
- On #28203-06, Etheral Angel, the picture is not her; it is Illumina Angel.
- On #28206-06, Astrid Angel, LE, they have also listed edition numbers, & the
item just has piece number & no editions.
- #2822, Angel of Peace, the picture is that of one we are familiar with; however,
the very FIRST angel of peace had a different face. After a few months, it was
resculptured & issued, but never a mention of that in other publications..
Thanks Linda!
I e-mailed CVG last week with the errors I found.
- One was Sandra S. Claus Dollstone, listed at $23.00, when in fact it was $53.00.
I know cause I bought it.
Also, Sabbath Nights Dollstone, listed at $38.00, when it was $28.00.
(And I think one of these they list the value at $17.00. I don't have the CVG
with me, so I can't check it.)
Thank you to Colette for sharing this!
My contributions: On page 76, the value of "Jessica and Timmy, Animal
Hospital" is listed as $16 for all editions, when the original price is $40 (and the
piece hasn't even hit the stores yet...).
In the plush, there is also the great Higgins/Higgy and Farnsworth Jr/Sr picture
identification errors, a mistake from last year that was not corrected.
Thanks for your contribution, Cindy!
Errors
- p 78 Price of Sandra S. Claus is incorrect (believe it was around $56)
- p.49 SFMBBailey with Suitcase: Picture shown is Clarion bear
Omissions (possible because this info was not available before printing
deadline)
- p.79 Teresa and John does not list a Premier price
- p.77 Mary and Paul not listed as Ltd. Ed. GM's choice (as piece is marked).
- QVC exclusives Gwain & Guinevere not listed
Elaine, thanks for sending these in!
Lara LE was not in there. Mrs. Potter and Amadeaus wasn't either. Jamie and
Thomasina was a premier.
Thanks Michelle for sharing!!
QVC Uncle Gus and the Gift $88.50 not listed in CVG
Thanks "smeebody!"
Page 47 #7 shows a picture of Emma the Witchy Bear resin, should be the
votive with the large pumpkin.
Thanks to Marian - Mmpunkios@aol.com
In the Plush section, the following bears are not documented as having retired
in '97, although the'97 CVG states that they were to retire in '97:
- Camilla #5732 p.133
- Farnsworth Jr. #5870-08 p.135
- Lenora Flatstein #5685-08 p.137
- Aubergine #9107 p.132
- Carlin Wabbit #9115 p.133
- Hedy #9186-01 p.136
- Stewart Rarebit #9116 p.141
- Demi #9112 p.134
Now, it gets even more confusing, 'cause in the '98 CVG (pp.98-99), it states that
Camilla, Farnsworth Jr., Lenora Flatstein, Aubergine, Carlin Wabbit, Demi, Hedy,Stewart
Rarebit are all retiring in '98, yet they were listed in the '97 CVG (p.79) as retiring in
'97....So which is it??
Also, Edmund Fall of '96 is not listed on either p.79 of the '97 CVG or pp.98-99 of the
'98 CVG as retired, yet on p.102 of the'98 CVG, he is marked as retired in '97.
What is the verdict on those retirements?
Dena - DCAT10@aol.com
Thanks Dena! Does anyone know the status of these plush?
In some of the New CVG "98" books pages 129 - 145 are missing.
Have a great day! Donna :o)
Edmund Fall 1994 shows a red hat, which is an error. His hat actually matches
his sweater. Thanks Brenda!
Two missing items from the latest version of the CVG is Indigo Jones as well as
Kent with Putnam.
On Page 102, it is listed that the variation of Spring 94 Edmund wears a black and white
shirt. I think the variation is in the color of his pants. The "confused Edmund"
wears navy pants with a black and white shirt whereas the "normal Edmund" wears
black pants with a black and white shirt.
On Page 106, there is only one Callaghan listed. I know that there are two versions of him
because I purchased both versions !
Thanks to Marie
The plush bear Disraeli is spelled incorrectly as Disreali.
The Folkstone figure Jean Claude and Jacques - Jacques is spelled incorrectly
as Jacque.
Thanks Caren for pointing out the typos.
