The Jazz-N-Space Peace Bear was issued in October 1998, when it was sold at the Jazz Festival in Titusville, Florida.  Only 2,400 were produced, all of which came with a certificate, and 600 of those also came with an autograph.
These bears were issued to "honor all of the legends of jazz...the only truly American art form."  Over $30,000 of the sales went to the Astronaut Hall of Fame in Titusville.
As seen in the picture on the right, the bear came with a commemorative hang tag and a certificate.
