Alien Iverson #1.

Beancounters: Alien Iverson No. 1

For the The Philadelphia Daily News

If you were one of the lucky recipients of an Allen Iverson "Alien Iverson" Meanie doll (green tattoos, all that stuff) last spring at the
76ers' promotional giveaway game last spring, you'd now be the proud owner of the No. 1 beanbag doll of the summer. Imagine that.

Karen Frascona, the 76ers' communications director, passed along the information that the July edition of Bean Bag World (heaven
help us) has listed the top 10 and our friendly Alien checks in at No. 1. As an aside, the beloved Alien doll sold recently on eBay for
$175.

The rest of the top 10: 2) Black Peter; 3) St. Patrick's Day Tigger; 4) Mickey Mantle promo bear (from Reggie Jackson's company,
Mr. Octobears); 5) Mark McGwire gold-series Bammer; 6) Star No. 9 Red/Basketball celebrity bears; 7) Senator from Classic
Collecticritters; 8) Reggie the Eagle (Coca-Cola); 9) Happy Smiley Face, and 10) Original Glitch.
