ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is the first version of America. All profits from the sale of the blue America were
donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund for
9/11.
On September 28, 2001, a Ty-signed blue America was listed
on eBay by a Ty employee to raise money for the American Red
Cross. The auction ended on October 5, 2001 with a high bid
of $24,000. The winning bid was submitted by eBay user
Ryebypost from the UK.
There are five other versions of America.
America (blue with swing tag in Japanese), style 4506
America (red with blue right ear), style 4412
America (red with blue left ear), style 4412
America (white with blue right ear), style 4409
