+UOTrackers Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Many times I see the comparison of Beanie Babies and Geocoins. So let me tell you a story. Some years ago I was a beanie baby fanatic, yes I know, it's crazy huh! In fact before I was a fanatic I was a naysayer. I would ride around in Jacksonville FL and see signs saying "Beanie Baby Show", huh? a show just for Beanie babies, those crazy people. But then I was given one, Princess, it was the cutest little bear, and I was hooked! Soon I was dialing the hallmark numbers to hear their daily drops of new beanies (I guess that's how geocoins were in the day of F5). I even found a set of forums of can you guess? Beanie Baby collectors (those crazy beanickers! ) So one day I conceived this fun idea to send a teenie beanie traveling (did I invent TB's?) The idea was to take this little Teenie beanie and pack it into a small decorated box like he was on vacation and send him from one collector to another gathering stories and pictures of his travels. I never got him back, but the idea was cute and fun. Didn't I mention contest? Oh yeah, so tell me which Teenie Beanie I sent traveling. There is only one answer, and the first person to post it will win....A Surprise Geocoin! A Good Surprise too! Edited to clarify the surprise is a Geocoin Surprise Edited March 11, 2007 by UOTrackers Quote Link to comment
