"Shakedown" was part of Release V (5) in the series from Liquid Blue, released in March of 2000.  These bears are named in tribute of Grateful Dead themes and songs.  The album that this bear references, Shakedown Street, was released in 1978 but this bear wasn't.   He seems to be having a hard time getting $10 at auction.
