"We had a lot of fun with it," said Jeanne Bertoia, "and it was a worthwhile effort, since we now have radiological provenance to pass along to the bear’s new owner."

Estimated at $14,000-$18,000, A-Rod is the highlight of the teddy bear section in Bertoia Auctions’ 2,500-lot Toy For All Seasons sale, to be held Nov. 7-9.
