One of the most commonly found Beanie Babies is Valentino.
Depending what tags it has, your Valentino could be worth a $1 to a few hundred. Millions of Valentino Beanie Babies were made, which means most of them are worthless.
This guide is to help you figure out which Valentino you have.
Counterfeit versions exist.
Did You Know?

On May 17, 1998, David Wells, the New York Yankees' left-handed pitcher threw a Perfect Game against the Minnesota Twins. A crowd of over 49,000 was present, nearly filling the stadium to capacity. A notable segment of the audience had been children attending the special Beanie Babies Day. Kids under the age of 14 had received a Valentino Beanie Baby along with a unique, numbered commemorative card.

How can I know the difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Beanie Babies? I’m confused.
Here are pictures of Hang Tag Generations 1-3: http://lovemybeanies.com/beanie-babies-hang-tag-generations-1-4/
I have a Valentino with a 5th generation hang tag and a first generation tush tag does it have any value?
It’s not possible to have that tag combination. Versions with a 1st Generation Tush Tag only had either a 2nd or 3rd Generation Hang Tag.
I have a Valentino with 2 different sized black eyes & a brown nose. What is that worth?
Without seeing pictures of it, I wouldn’t be able to know. It is perhaps counterfeit as Valentino was one of the most faked Beanies.
I have a Valentino bear with brown nose red heart and ribbon had it checked it is a real TY made in China like many of them have the eyes that are different sizes the hang tags that have the misspelled words are the most valuable , These things I know but I do have one that I contacted the company directly about that has a sticker on the tush tag … Where the TY part is …it doesn’t come off …They said that it was real but someone made a mistake when printing the tush tag, any idea of what it may be worth? They wanted to replace it with another but didn’t offer to buy it back!
I have one too. I could send pictures if you would like.
Hello I have Valentino with 5th generation swing tag that has “origiinal” misspelling and surface wash sticker over “suface wash” spelling mistake. He has a 6th generation tush tag P.E pellets 1993 handmade in china. Is this worth anything?
I have a Valentino with two different size eyes and a brown nose, plus the hang tag says origiinal and suface. The tush tag has pvc pellets and no stamp inside, I see one on etsy for $100,000. Is that a legit price and is this valuable? I got it at a garage sale where lady had collected several and was just getting rid of her collection cheap
I have one with 2different sized eyes & a brown nose too. Also has tag, spelling & date errors. I’m wondering how much mine is worth. If I find anything out, I’ll let you know
