In 2006 there was a Ty Party and the launch of Henry and Charles Beanie babies the next day at Harrods.
The #1 certificate for each bear was auctioned off to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London.
Ty hand signed the first 25 numbered certificates each for Henry and Charles, and they were randomly put among the remaining certificates with Ty’s printed signature (500 for Henry and 1000 for Charles) in cases, behind the counter.
Note, there were an estimated 6 certificates put with the wrong bear, Charles with Henry’s certificate and vice versa. It was easy to correct and put with the right bear.
