Bear is in the box but the back flaps were slightly opened. Impossible to tell if this bear has rare misprinted information without opening the back flap, which indeed he does. Bear in original package and kept there as not to damage tag secured to bears ear, tush tag, and to preserve bear and packaging. See-through display bubble is attached to the original packaging.

The bubble is very slightly dented at the bottom by bears feet, and the edges have very slight wear as expected from the date of the item. The bubble is intact and not punctured, no holes. Packaging is in great condition for age of the item.

Tag on bears ear: You can see through box flap that the original tag on bears ear says "Oakbrook" listed as one word which is misspelled, should be Oak Brook as listed on the back of the box at the bottom.

Tag from bears tush: You can clearly see the original tag on bears tush listing as "1993 TY INC" and "Oakbrook". Tag date should match bears birthday from box (1996) but doesn't as it was printed incorrectly in error along with spelling of "Oakbrook".
