The End Bear - Ty Beanie Baby

Product Information

This multicolored tie/dye bear with a Peace symbol emblem embroidered on its chest existed for only three years. Ty Warner first distributed it as a souvenir at the Oakland A’s v Boston Red Sox baseball game in 1997. Bottom line: Inch the worm is as colorful as rare Beanie Babies come. The rainbow-colored inchworm was released in 1995, and a mini version was later given out with McDonald's Happy Meals.

Bottom line: Holiday-themed teddies were some of Ty's best-selling Beanie Babies. This Independence Day-themed bear featured a stars and stripes flag pattern on his body and a solid colored face, which came in white, blue and pink. 48. Weenie the Dachshund (Tie) In 1998, Ty Inc. decided to stop stuffing beanie babies with PVC pellets. Instead, the company switched to PE pellets, which were supposed to be more environmentally friendly. Because there were so many Beanie Babies, collectors grouped them into two broad categories: Common and Special-Editions. You probably already guessed that the latter brings in higher value due to its unique features and rarity. Complete tags

67. Spunky the Cocker Spaniel

In 1999, Ty Inc. officially retired several beanie babies, and there wasn’t any market response. Those beanies didn’t increase in value, and there wasn’t any spike in demand. That was the beginning of the end for beanie babies. If you’re considering selling your Beanie Babies or are in the market to buy, several factors contribute to the value of these collectors’ items. This includes how rare the design is, if it’s been looked after, what kind of tags and stuffing it has, and where you’re trying to sell or buy. She was only sold for a few months, making her one of the more difficult-to-find Beanie Babies. She was released on Aug. 31, 1999, and retired less than four months later on Dec. 23. 42. Inch the Worm (Tie) Because beanie babies were rarely sold in sets, this three-bunny grouping carries a hefty price tag. If it’s in mint condition, that’s even better. Princess the Bear

It also appears to be made in Korea, which indicates it wasn't mass-produced. Fifteen-thousand copies of Tuffy were given out at sporting events, but versions with so many errors remain extremely rare. 7. Gobbles There are different versions of Mystic the Unicorn; however, the first featured the tan horn and fine mane. To tell the difference between the fine and coarse mane, look for at least 20 strands of white yarn in the tail. It was released in 1994 and is the rarest edition of this cute Beanie Baby. However, when Patti is magenta, she can be very valuable. The magenta-colored Patti the Platypus has always been the most popular among collectors. This is the oldest-edition Patti, and her magenta coat gives her a distinctive style and a higher asking price. Snort the Red BullBrownie is among the higher-priced beanie babies. Later on, Brownie’s identical twin “Cubbie” hit the market, but he’s not as valuable.

Ty Santa Claus Beanie Baby Bear (Tie) Damaged or Played With: Finally, played with or damaged Beanie Babies with signs of wear on both the toy and tags are worth five to 25 percent of the total value (though they have probably provided infinite value in the form of lasting childhood memories!) When Pinchers first came on the market, he had a tush tag error that called him “Punchers the Lobster.” Beanies with the typo have more value compared to beanies without. Nana the Monkey

Let’s say the hang tag (or swing tag) is missing, damaged, or has been marred with writing. If that’s the case, the beanie baby’s value drops to almost nothing. Tush TagDo your research: Before you start collecting, research the different Beanie Babies that are available and familiarize yourself with their values and rarity. This will help you make informed decisions when purchasing and trading. Rounding out the most valuable Beanie Babies is Squealer the Pig, another member of the Original Nine. This pink porker was incredibly popular and launched in 1994. He didn’t retire until 1998, giving him the longest production time of the group. Ty, Inc. stopped producing Beanie Babies in December 1999, but high demand soon led them to reconsider. [15] Production restarted in 2000 with a Beanie Baby named "The Beginning." https://tybeaniebabiesrare net/2019/12/02/rare-valentino-beanie-baby-all-errors-mismatched-tags-plus-unique-tag-error/
