1/16/03 - Boyds Tracker Update
"The official 'Plush Tracker' Review is in from Boyds"
We Just Received this from Dave Miller,VP at Boyds
and thought you'd like to know…
…"I wanted to drop a note and let you know that I just finished looking over the final proof
of the new Boyds Tracker. Although we are not producing the price guide, the integrity
of the content and the ability of the book to make a good impression with Boyds
consumers are very important to us. The book is very comprehensive and will certainly
be a great asset for all Boyds collectors. The content, secondary market guide and paw
notes in the back will certainly help today's collectors immensely. I especially like the
paw notes with the photos. What a great guide for new and current collectors! On behalf
of the folks from Boyds... I want to say Thank You! A wonderful job by all involved!"…
This is what we have been waiting for in order for the book to go to the printers. Now that we have the "go ahead"… we want you to know the countdown has begun!!! We apologize for all the delays… who would have dreamed it would have taken this long? But, don't worry it will include the entire Spring '03 line to make it current and up to date.
It has been quite the learning experience working on this HUGE project. Capt*n & I consider it both an honor and pleasure though to have been able to see this published for fellow Boyds Collectors!
We hope you'll enjoy it!!!
