[Michael Bailey]

Looking forward to Mark on 5…

odds and ends

BBC Interview Edition Princess Diana Beanie Baby
- that’s got to be an invention hasn’t it?

Apparently the BBC interview when the Princess said there were 3 people in
her marriage was quite notorious.


Vyrva on Beanies:
Ten, twelve years down the line, college looming, you know what these are
gonna be worth to collectors?”
 “Lots?” Maxine guesses.
  “Uncomputable.”

A) “college looming” - financial prep, but also, the parental dread of kids
growing up is a thing, right?

B) “uncomputable” - not just another way to say “a lot” I think this
accords with the notion that Beanies are an escape from the cold accurate
non-cuddliness of computers!



The mavens do not accord with Vyrva’s valuation:
http://www.tycollector.com/the-scoop/princess-bear.htm has a chart with
values ranging from $5 to $100.

Bemused, I am, that she’s taking the bus.
