Teddy Bear Collectible Bjorn Bearg. Very Important Bears Bjorn Bearg (Bjorn Borg) Stuffed Bear, measures 20'' x 14'', comes with original tag, introduced in the fall of 1982 and was retired in the fall of 1984. He's in good condition. FYI: ''Odl Bauer, who sewed the first bear, joined Paul and Barbara Isenberg and together they worked on developing the VIB's (Very Important Bears). Using her English literature background, Barbara experimented with a variety of names and puns for these colorful 20'' velour bears. The VIB's are all retired and often increase dramatically in value on the secondary market.

For someone who collects teddy bears, this is a find! For a tennis buff, a cute themed gift.
