I forgot to finish the draft for this post and get it up in a timely manner. I have various unfinished drafts sitting around which I intend to finish and post, but time flees away from me as daily. On with the post then!
A glossy Bisbee was the second test run of the year:
Bisbee (# 1815) was a 3,000 piece 2019 Limited Edition in a matte finish. Breyer offered Collector Club members the opportunity to purchase the glossy test run Bisbee via lottery with entries accepted from April 17-21, 2024. Glossy Bisbee was priced at $1000 and a certificate of authenticity was included. Here are some photos of glossy Bisbee:
Naturally it is hard to tell from the pictures, but the gloss on the left side of Glossy Bisbee’s face doesn’t appear very thick. My Olaf, a 2016 Web Special on the Texas Longhorn Bull, has areas of skimpy gloss and actually has patches of no gloss. I hope this isn’t the case with Glossy Bisbee. I hope that her new owner loves her!
