| BEANIE
BABY OVERVIEW: 1993 to Present
 Ty
has been manufacturing Beanie Babies since 1993. Beanie
Babies are small plush toys that are filled with pellets
and appeal to all ages of consumers. Beanie Babies have
a suggested retail price range from $5 to $7.
There are now thousands of Beanie Babies to collect!
This large quantity has forced many collectors to limit
their Beanie Baby purchases to specific animal types
or to focus on Exclusive Beanies.
While some retired styles, due to over production,
are now worth less than suggested retail. Others that
were limited, such as Peanut the royal blue elephant
and Spot the spotless dog, are worth thousands of dollars.
Back in the early 2000's, oddity collectors were paying
hundreds of dollars for Beanie Babies that had a manufacturing
defect such as Beanie Baby bears that were missing their
chest emblem.
While browsing at tag sales, keep your eye out for
Beanie Babies that have a 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation
heart tag and/or a black and white tush tag or
Beanie Babies that are missing their chest emblem.
