I used to collect a lot of things in the 90's. It was easy to justify spending money on things like Coca-cola memorabilia when I was a poor college student, because I wasn't spending any money on booze and nightclubs. It seems logical at the time, and if you were collecting things int he 90's you would also be familiar with the lie that we were all told. "Collectibles are an investment!" Yeah...not so much. Don't buy these beanies as an investment. These are not Ty Beanie Babies. Sadly, you have not found super valuable collectibles being sold at a fraction of their value. Those are not good reasons to purchase. Do you have a fondness for Coke collectibles? Do you want to display these adorable stuffies during the Christmas season? Maybe you need a gift for someone who collects Coke stuff, but they weren't collecting back in 1997. Those would all be good reasons to buy these stuffies. If not good reasons, at least acceptable reasons. You may need a better reason to justify the purchase to a significant other. Tell them it's an investment. The polar bears and penguin are all from 1997. The eagle is from 1999, from the International Collection. (I used to also collect anything related to eagles, so this was a great intersection of two collections. Twice the justification for that purchase!) I would like to sell all of them together as a set, but if they haven't moved after being listed for a week, I'll consider splitting them up.
