Cherished Teddies Astrid 2001 #864218 Limited Edition NIB SiGNED

Description

I am an avid Cherished Teddies collector too. To make it much easier and streamlined for you to shop, I have listed only one of each of the Cherished Teddies I have for sale. I clearly state the condition of each piece in the description. If I state, the piece is signed I state which artist signed it. Questions?, message me through eBay messaging. I am still going through storage totes looking for items I haven't listed yet. I will load them into my eBay store as I find them. Have a great week.

The shipping rate shown in auction is for the continental US only. Please click on the Shipping "See Details" to query your country or zip code for your shipping charge.
Starting in 2011 Enesco no longer issues Adoption papers or Postcards. With all items a small folded card is issued. This is an Enesco cost cutting measure.
Because of the age of some of these pieces, even though the item is “new” there might be shelf wear or slight fading on the box or the foam packing might be yellowed. That is normal.
MULTIPLE PURCHASES SHIPPING DISCOUNT:
Customers purchasing more than one item must purchase all items at one time and subsequently request an invoice so I can recalculate combined shipping total. I will send you a new invoice to pay from.

Astrid - #864218
.  Astrid was released in 2001 as a Limited Edition piece. It was closed and out of production on December 31, 2001. This is a beautiful piece. Astrid is pushing a sleigh full of toys and presents through the snow as a little rabbit and squirrel watch on. Look, there's her bear buddies going along for the ride. The sleigh has gold metal runners. Astrid has a beautiful off white coat and hat on trimmed in red and green. This piece is quite large and detailed. Astrid  is 3 3/4 inches tall 6 inches wide and 3 inches deep. All my Cherished Teddies and accessories come from a non-smoking adult home. This would make a great addition to your Cherished Teddies collection or a perfect gift for your favorite CT collector. Good luck on your bidding. Email me with any questions.
Non-US buyers: If you check out via Global Shipping Customs and/or VAT charges are included in your shipping charge. If you check out via Regular shipping, YOU are responsible for any VAT or Customs charges or other charges imposed by your country’s Customs Office when the package arrives. These charges are NOT included in the shipping charge if you do not choose Global Shipping option. It is illegal to mark the Customs Form with "Gift" or change the value. Please do not ask me to.
For US Shipments
I ship all packages "Insured" which is included in the shipping charge listed
For all International Buyers -
Shipments PLEASE READ Carefully before purchase
I ship all packages “Registered and Insured” which is included in your shipping charge listed. With the rash of buyers claiming they never received their package I have been forced to do this. Since this inception not one package has been lost. Sorry for any inconvenience and added cost but the cost of replacement or refunds was getting prohibitive for me. If you do not want the added shipping cost, please do not buy from me. I do ship worldwide.
Important Note:
Each figurine is individually painted. Some have lighter painting, and some have darker painting. I have no control over the shade color. Some of the pictures I use in my ads for "New" items are my stock pictures I took and not necessarily the shade of paint you are looking for or the piece you will be getting. If you have particular interest in coloring, please inquire before buying otherwise what I send is what I have for sale. As for the items I sell that are "Used" those pictures are the actual item I'm selling.
Clarification: If you purchase an item from me where the condition of the item is marked “NEW” or “NIB”, it is NEW never displayed. It does not mean I didn’t take it out of the box to inspect it and take a picture for the eBay ad. If you purchase an item from me where the condition of the item is marked “Mint”, it is USED or I’m not sure whether it’s new or used. The condition will be clearly stated, i.e. Mint gently used. I will also state if there are any chips, nicks, ticks or fading, etc. If you are still unclear, PLEASE email me before bidding.
Because of the age of some of these pieces, even though the item is “new” there might be shelf wear or slight fading on the box or the foam packing might be yellowed. That is normal.
If you bid and win on my auctions and don’t pay, you will be reported to eBay via the Dispute Console.
