Like all Beanie Babies that were apart of the 1st generation, Blackie The Bear versions with the 1st generation hang and tush tag can be worth money.

Finding a 1st generation Blackie can be somewhat challenging, but getting one from another generation is quite easy.

⚠️ Important

1st Generation Tags = Worth Something

Any Other Tags = Not Worth Something

💡 Recently an authenticated 2nd Gen Hang Tag / 3rd Gen Tush Tag Blackie only sold for $24.99 on eBay. It typically costs around $10-15 to get a Beanie Baby authenticated, so you can see even nice Blackie’s that aren’t the 1st generation versions are not worth very much.

  1. OH I have blackie the bear the first generation in A 1 condition and was wondering how much it is worth.and where can I sell it.I also have other first generation beanie babies.

    1. Hello Damelia! A Blackie with the 1st Generation Heart Tag and Tush Tag is worth decent money. I haven’t seen one for sale in quite a long time, but it’s conservatively worth over $100. The best place to sell Beanie Babies is on eBay. Typically 1st Generation Beanie Babies sell the best when they are authenticated by a third party like True Blue Beans: http://www.truebluebeans.com/ or Peggy G: http://www.peggyg.com/authenticity.asp

  2. I have a Blackie Bear, 1st Generation, Tush tag has:made in China,1993, PVC pellets. I bought it at a Cracker Barrel before Beanie Babies were popular. It doesn’t have the “heart” tag, since I bought it before they were collectibles. Still like new. How much is it worth?

    1. Hello! That’s unfortunate it doesn’t have the heart tag as that could bring some value. As it sits, it’s maybe only $5 or so. It could of had either a 1st-3rd Generation Heart Tag. There is no way to tell which one it had, which is why it hurts the value a lot.

      1. I have a blackie Beanie Baby that has first generation heart tag and first-generation tush tag they’re both in tact its in really nice condition, what do you think it’s worth and who can I sell it to you I know it’s a first-generation for the tag on the on the butt looks really weird
