Collecting vintage Chicago bears is more than owning the bear to a lot of collectors, they have a special memory or feeling associated with the bears and have come to form a bond over the years.
In the plush form, they are very cuddly and soft and some are clothed with vintage clothing, while others are reminiscent of the early days. You can also be sure to find limitless amounts of vintage Chicago bear items and accessories that can truly add to a collection.
If you are not sure where to begin with your collection, you can always join an online community of other bear collectors who can offer advice and tips on where to start and what to look for.
As with any kind of collection, it is important to carefully inspect the bears before you make a purchase. Some people love to purchase their vintage Chicago bears at online auctions because they can generally save more money, but others prefer seeing them up close first so that they can carefully see if the bear is worth the price.
Having a full and complete collection of the bears can be a very wise investment to make. Some of the bears hold their value and continue to be appraised high as the years go on.
Whether you are building your collection to be passed on through your family or if you have a special heritage associated with the bears, you are sure to enjoy your collection and enjoy showcasing them at events and trade shows. Traveling road shows are an excellent place to get a lot of information about the bears and see what other collectors have.

Before you go to a show, you should look online to get some information or read through some pricing guides to see what the bears should be valued at and what to look for as far as condition and quality are concerned.
You want to look for bears that are in their original state as much as possible without having a lot of changes made to them over the years.
