Peace
Oddity: No Emblem
Authenticated
Final Price: $450
Sale Date: October 2021

$450 is the highest recorded price for a no emblem Peace bear. It also featured a Canadian Tush Tag.

Condition and the Tags make a huge difference in the price of Beanie Babies. If the toy is well used and shows noticeable wear then that will dramatically impact the final sale price.

The Tags play a major role in determining the value of Beanie Babies. Not only do they identify the toy, but the condition of the tag will also factor into the value.

Beanie Babies with no Hang/Swing Tag will not be worth as much as one that still has the tags attached.

Many of the Beanie Babies listed below are authenticated by 3rd party authentication services.

There is a cost associated with grading/authenticating your beanie, usually around $15-20 when shipping is taken into account. If you have a rare beanie, or a 1st generation one, then you might want to consider getting it authenticated to maximize value.

There were many fake and counterfeit beanies that were created during the boom of popularity the toys had in the 1990s.

Love My Beanies

  • hello

    i have around 50 original beanie babies with a few i think are worth a few more than the rest

    please can someone give me some values as i am looking to sell them..
    all with tags in cases and excellent condition,

    Possible rares are Mystic white with rainbow fine hair
    Large Peking the Panda bear
    Chocolate the Moose

    Thanks

    Chloe

  • I have a Nuts the squirrel with a production error. He only has one arm. Do you think because if that he’s worth anything?
    Thanks so much-Sara

    • Hello Sara, There probably is a little bit of value there. How much, I’m not sure, maybe $15-20, maybe less, maybe a little more. It’s definitely rare and worth hanging onto. Nice find.

  • I really like that you have kept this site up! Thank you for your dedication. Where would you suggest I look for beanie buddy current value listings?

    • Hello MsLoJack, that is actually a good question. I’m not sure there is an updated site that keeps track of Buddy prices. The best bet is to search sold auctions on eBay for certain ones you might have. I will put some information on Buddy prices starting in May, because I have gotten a few requests.

  • I have two Iggy’s and Two Rainbow’s. One of each is Tie Dye, and one of each is the blueish color. They haven’t been on any of the lists I’ve seen yet. Do you know more about them? Are they fake or just overpopular?

    • Hello Cheyenne! Looks like they made a couple versions, the tie dye and the deep blue color. They do appear to be fairly common 🙁 as they were released in the late 1990’s. They are definitely real, Ty just made too many of them to be popular.

  • Hello, A lot of beanies were donated to my work place to sell to raise funds for the children here with cerebal palsy. I couldn’t resist and bought the lot. They are all new with tags. Just wondering if any might be worth something.
    I have speedy with P.V.C pellets hang tag 4th, tush 3rd. Floppity with P.V.C pellets hang tag 4th, tush 5th, Hoppity P.V.C pellets Hang 5th, tush 6th. Spooky P.V.C pellets Hang 5th, tush 4th with clear sticker.
    All of the following beanies have P.E pellets with hang tags 5th and tush tags 6th….
    Princess, Seaweed, Hippity, Britannia, Baldy, Glory, Gracie, Zero, Hippity, Fortune, Congo, Curly, Bones, Peace,Valentino and Erin.
    I think these ones have hang tag 5th and tush tag 10th….
    1999 signature bear. Ewey, Butch, Tiptoe, Wallace, Kicks and Silver.
    And I also hace Clubby but having a bit of trouble identifying his tags.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Emma :0)

    • Hello Emma. Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you. I will try to help you the best I can.

      Speedy 4th/3rd. Some Speedy’s are worth a little bit, but yours is a couple years too old 🙁 Any Speedy with a 1st Generation Tush and even some with 2nd Generation Tush tags can bring a little bit of money.

      Hoppity & Floppity are real common, only a worth a couple $ at best.

      Like Speedy, some of the early Spooky’s can be worth something. But yours is a little too old. With the 4th generation sticker, that’s interesting, but doesn’t boost the value very much at all.

      Princess: refer to this guide. There are so many versions that it all depends which one: http://www.tycollector.com/the-scoop/princess-bear.htm

      Seaweed: Only 3rd/2nd Generation ones have value unfortunately.

      Hippity – same as hoppity and Floppity. As a set, maybe $10 total.

      Britannia I tracked – has an average price of $6.10 from 31 sales: http://lovemybeanies.com/beanie-babies-price-guide-letter-b/

      Baldy – one of the most common Beanie Babies, only worth a couple bucks 🙁 http://lovemybeanies.com/baldy-beanie-babies-price-guide/

      Glory – if it doesn’t have a USA Flag on it’s chest yes, it can be worth $. Or if it is turned upside down. Otherwise, only a couple bucks.

      Gracie – Zero – Fortune – Congo – Curly – Bones – Peace – Valentino – Erin – hold the same fate as the others.

      1999 Sig Bear – Ewey – Butch – Tiptoe – Wallace – Kicks – Silver all are worth $1-5 range.

      Sorry for the not so great news 🙁 Always be on the look out for some of the early Beanies if you find more. Let me know if you have any other questions.

      • Thank you so much for your time. I know how long it took me just to work out what tags they all had. I do not mind at all that they are not worth much as the money I paid for them goes to charity. They are also so cute, and my nieces will love them, so it a win win situation all around. I will keep my eyes open for rare beanies now, all this researching has made me nearly a beanie expert haha. Thank you again. Kind regards. Emma.

      • hello I recently purchased some beanies and gained interest in resell…actually it didn’t start with beanies im into antiques and stumbled across info that made me go out and to flea markets thrift stores ect ect…I sought and bought the rare ones and wonder how do I get the most out of them individually or as a lot.. small example:.example I have two milleniums and a valentino with all errors plus many others….liltigerseye2@yahoo.com

  • All, I had a friend leave me a box of McDonald toys. All are still in the boxes and the bags. From TY toys to Furbys to Walt Disney figures. Does anyone know how I go about getting the best price, or are they not could they be not worth anything. I know I have only given a general description but I can go into detail if requested.

    • The Beanie Babie ones aren’t going to be worth much from that group, but you might want to check out the Disney and other things. Search eBay to see if you can find anything listed for sale. Most of the McDonalds toys were heavily mass produced, so they might have to be really old to be worth anything of value.

  • Hello, I have an Issy Santa Barbara and have been looking to sell it for a while. Any idea how much this is worth? Thank you!

    • Hello Aimee! Recently, an authenticated Issy Santa Barbara sold for $130.00 on eBay. With the right buyer, you can probably get between $75-130 for it.

  • Hellow! I have a rare 2003 PVC pellet Valentino in mint condition, never been used. It has the 4/5th generation tag which has spelling mistakes on both the original and surface wash on the back. Do you know how much this is worth? Thanks

    • Hello Laura! Some of the earlier Valentino’s with a 1st Generation Tush tag can have value, but as you get into the 4th and 5th generations, you’re only looking at a few dollars, even with the tag errors.

  • I recently bought an orange crab beanie “digger” with no Ty tag. Still has the tush tag. I was wondering what the value would be. It is dated 1999.

    • It’s tough to say with those because so many of them were made. It could have just been a slight error, it could be counterfeit, as a lot of those exist. In the end, there are so many out there in general, that none of the Princess Bears hold much value, even ones that have some quirks with the tags or with the fabric.

    • I have a 1993 ty “patti” platypus in the fuschia or purple color with tag says 1993. Clean, not played with and trying to find out what it is worth. I also have “chocolate” the moose, 1993 but with out ty tag. A bongo monkey again with out tag. I have a whole bag of these things I bought for my daughter. Most of them have tags on them, most of them have 1993 -96,97 tag dates, most have the ty tag as well and almost all state hand made in china on them. Some newer ones say Indonesia, but the other ones say china, hand made. What are all these things worth?

  • My wife just found a royal blue peanut Ty . It does not have the ear tag but it does have the 2nd tag also says 100% tylon instead of nylon 1998

    Anybody have any idea what they are worth without the ear tag? Other than that it’s in great condition

  • I have the princess beanie with correct hang tag that says princess but the tush tag says “Erin”. 1997 china pe pellets no number in tush tag. I cant find another one like it on ebay. Can you tell me what this might be worth?

    • Hello Lisa! There might be a slight premium above what a regular version might be worth. There are several different versions of the Princess, most are only worth a few dollars. See if you can identify which one you might have on this page: http://tycollector.com/the-scoop/princess-bear.htm

      It might be worth 1.5 – 2 times what a normal one might be worth but that is just a guess. With so many Princess Bears out there, it can be hit or miss getting value for one. It might only sell for what a regular one would. It would all depend on how many potential buyers might be interested. I’ve seen a few other Princess Bears with error tush tags, one had Blizzard on the Tush Tag, but I haven’t seen one sell to get an idea what the value might be.

  • I just recieved a billionaire 2 bear but the signature in the hand tag isnt actually hand signed and I was just curious if he is worth anything at all? Or if it’s worth being sent to aunthenticate? Or were they mass produced? Thanks!

    • Hello! It looks like those were signed in, what appears to be Gold Ink, and they are also hand serial numbered with the same gold ink. What color is the signature on your bear?

  • I have speedy the turtle with I believe a fifth generation swing tag (has yellow star with original beanie baby) and third generation tush tag (has no small star). Birth year is 1994 but tush tag says 1993 and a canadian tush tag and PVC pellets as well. Is it worth anything?
    I also have Ears the bunny with fifth generation swing tag, PVC pellets, and third generation tush tag as well. Is this worth anything?

    • Hello! Unfortunately, a 5th Gen Speedy, even with a Canadian Tush, doesn’t have much value. Maybe $5 on a good day. Same thing with Ears, from the 3rd Generation on up with Beanie Babies, it’s hard to have one of any real value.

  • Hello. I have 2 beanies that I think are potentially rare. One is Valentino with “oriiginal” on swing tag, brown nose, and the 1993/1994 error. It also has a sticker over the “suface wash” mistake to correct it. The other is a millennium bear with a “Gasport” error. Millennium is spelled correctly though. Are these worth any money? Thank you.

    • Hello! The Valentino is a nice find, someone on eBay has been trying to sell one with those tag errors for $40 with no luck. It’s worth less than that, probably in the $10 range, but it’s a nice one to have. The Millennium Bear is very common. No more than a few dollars for that one.

  • Hello, I have a remarkably clean Valentino Bear with P VC pellets, made in 1993, 2 misspellings ( original in ear tag is spelled with two i’s “origiinal”, and on back surface is spelled “surface”, no lot number on inside of tush tag, face is narrow with nose close to eyes. The tush tag still has . Plastic cover over it and the bear is in pristine condition. I was wondering how much am I looking at? How do I tell what generation the tags are?
    I also have Pinchers with P VC pellets, no lot number but dont know if its first edition? Also have “Cheri” a poodle that stands with a beret on, pvc pellets, 1993, there is just a TY on ear tag and the tush tag is brown with tan letters and just a TY…can u help with this?
    Thanks so much!

    • Hello!

      With Valentino, the only ones worth anything of real value will have a 1st Generation Tush Tag: http://lovemybeanies.com/1st-generation-beanie-babies-tush-tag/

      Other versions that are not 1st Gen, even with the Tag errors, those are fairly common on Valentino’s and it looks like it was one of the most mass produced Beanies Ty made. If it has a 1st Gen Tush Tag, it and will have either a 2nd or 3rd Generation Hang Tag: http://lovemybeanies.com/beanie-babies-hang-tag-generations-1-4/

      2nd Gen Hang Tag – 1st Gen Tush Tag versions can be worth over $100
      3rd Gen Hang Tag – 1st Gen Tush Tag versions can be worth $20+

      Same idea with the Pinchers. Depends what tags it has. If it has 1st/1st tags, those can be worth several hundred dollars. 3rd-5th Gen tags and they are pretty much worthless.

      The Cheri is apart of the Attic Treasures line. Those don’t have quite the same popularity as regular Beanie Babies, a Cheri is only worth $1-3 or so.

  • I have a peace bear that is in itself a common bear. Im guessing 4th generation hang tag and 5th generation very faded tush tag. The thing that makes it rare is that it is from a 1998 rock concert and it is numbered 188 out of 350. The tag on it is yellow with black writing and it is attached to the left shoulder. It says 1998 Commerative Beanie Baby curved across the top, then in the center it says Rockin The Hills with a guitar and below that in tiny print, ROCKIN’ 98 Below that in red is a number from a numbering machine which reads No 188 and at the bottom also curved along the bottom is Limited Edition 1 of 350 Series 1.

    I have tried to find out information on this beanie for years and have found nothing. I got it on ebay I believe in 2003 or 2004 when I was actively collecting them. I think I paid $25 at the time because I collect peace bears and this one was different. Do you know anything about this bear? Is it rare or do I just have a different peace bear 🙂

    • Hello! That sounds like a really cool Peace Bear. Much like you, I’ve looked and looked and haven’t found much outside of a 2012 eBay auction for one that went for $37.99. It probably worth around, or slightly more than the $25 you paid for it. It’s definitely worth hanging onto as most Beanie Babies have waaaay more than 350 out there. It’s rare.

    • You might not ever see this since it is quite awhile later, but I actually was the one who did the listings for those bears. I worked for a place in Bottineau, North Dakota, and he bought the bears from someone who had them numbered for the now defunct “Rockin’ The Hills” event in the area (5 miles north of town.”

  • I have a “Chocolate” beanie baby 1st tush tag/3rd hang tag but the hang tag says “Daisy”, is it worth anything?
    Thank you

    • Hello Guy!

      That’s a tough one. It would be easy to switch out hang tags, but it could have very easily come like that. It probably wouldn’t raise the value, but a normal 3rd/1st Chocolate is actually a nice find and can sell in the $10-20 range online.

    • Hello! That one might be a little questionable. On the inside of the tag I believe authentic versions have Ltd. That one has LTD.

      • If you go to lovemybeanies.com/beanie-babies-hang-tag-generations-1-4/
        and scroll down to 2nd generation hang tags you will see a 2nd generation “Web” hang tag with the LTD in capital letters and that is saying it is an authentic tag.
        Can you explain?
        Thank you

  • I have two princess Di beanie babies. Both are PVC filled and are first editions based on everything I can see and everything I have read regarding the tags. Is there any value to these? I have pics…

  • Hi,

    Maybe you can help me with a clearly decreased value beanie. 🙁 I have a red digger crab with a 3rd gen tush tag, but no swing tag. Is it even valuable anymore?

    Thanks

    • Hello! If it was a 1st Generation, you’d have a little something even without the hang tag. Once you get into the 3rd Gen Tush Tags with most beanies we’re talking $5 or so at best. Diggers with 1st/1st Tags have real value, easy several hundred for an authentic one, it’s crazy how the value drops off the table so quick for ones that have 2nd or later tags.

  • Hi I have a green frog called prince his tush tag is white with a red heart , 1993 his is worth anything , just wondering as I have many beanies but this is the only one with this colour tush tag x

  • Hey there! I recently purchased two authenticated Hong Kong Toy Fair Bears. The 2012 and 2013 edition. They were both rated MWMT’s MQ. I’m wondering what they’re worth? Thanks a bunch!

  • I have Peanut Royal Blue Elephant from McDonalds new in box. They made an error on the color for the beanie babies so is the one from McDonalds rare???

  • Hello I have the try beanie babies that went in the McDonalds Happy meals about 17-18 years ago all still in the plastic bags looking to sale any help I would thankful.

  • I HAVE MANY BEANIES THAT ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET MAY BE VALUABLE. ONE IS THE PEACE BEAR THAT HAS MISSPELLINGS ON THE HANG TAG…. I ALSO HAVE 2 DERBYS WITH THE ORIGINAL 2O STRANDS OF HAIR. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS BUT I DONT HAVE MY LIST AT THE MOMENT AND THESE ARE THE ONLY 2 THAT CAME TO MIND LOL ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT! THANK YOU!

  • I have a beanie babie no1 employee bear that was signed by Ty Warner, but it wasn’t numbered. I know there is only 253 made. I took pic and have done research n everything about it is ligit. Everything is okay except that there is a blank space under his name. I think they forgot to number it. I never realized it until lately when I was checking to see what number it was. All the ones I saw online are numbered except the one I have.
