What’s Old: Rupert the Bear
Our spotlight on previously listed stock this week falls on Nutwood’s favourite son, Rupert the Bear. An iconic British character, established since the early part of the 20th Century and immortalised in Annuals which still continue to this day. He is a fond favourite of ours here at 30th Century, although sadly, following a surge in popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, the advent of the internet seems to have brought more copies on to the market over the last 20 years, with the result that prices have dropped. Ever mindful of this sort of thing, we have now rationalised our Rupert stock prices, resulting for the most part in substantial reductions. Additionally, we have refurbished our stock in brand new bags and consistent livery labelling. All our Rupert stock (Annuals and Adventure series) may be viewed in the Rupert category in our catalogue; many examples are shown below.
