Bear's Animals UK cards

Bear Cards AppThe Yoyo Bear Animal cards first appeared in the UK in mid-November 2020, although the official launch was in mid-December. The cards are in Portrait format, with the numbers marked on the front.

The set consists of 60 cards, plus 30 bonus cards. For the first time, Bear has produced an "App" which enables collectors to keep track of which cards they have, although it is a little temperamental.

There is also a US set, and an International set.

This set is the longest running ever, at 2 years and 2 months, and its still going!

As seems to be the pattern with the more recent Bear series, the cards were released in phases as follows:

1. Around 80% of the cards in the early packs were in the range 1-16.

2. By March 2021, the cards 17-24, and 37 to 42 were appearing in greater numbers.

3. Between May and July 2021, the majority of the 60 standard cards were available, plus the first bonus set appeared. The Golden Go-Ape card was rumoured at this time, and an image of it appeared on the Bear website. As far as we know it never materialised.

4. In December 2021, seven out of the final 10 cards in the range 1-60 have appeared. These comprise the following cards: 32, 43, 45, 53, 54, 58 and 59. This just left 25, 30 and 44 missing. A new bonus set of nine Winter Wildlife cards was also released in this month.

5. In May 2022, the third bonus set was released, but only comprised of three cards.

6. In September 2022, the fourth and final bonus set has been released. Very cute cards, but still no shinies!
