Beanie Babies with a 1st Generation Hang Tag can be worth money, and as you’ll see below, sometimes a lot of money. The 1st Gen Beanie Babies were the first to be released in 1994 and are to this day some of the most rare and most popular. All of these transactions come from eBay where there is still a vibrant marketplace for the popular 1990’s toys. Be sure to check out a list of all the Beanie Babies with 1st Generation Hang Tags to see if you have one!
The Tags play a crucial role in determining the value of your Beanie Baby. 1st Generation BB’s without the Hang Tag can be worth a lot less then if they had the tags still attached. Condition will also play a big factor, if there are any creases, wrinkles, or imperfections in your tags that can effect the overall value and price you’ll get on the secondary market.
Many of the Beanie Babies below have been Authenticated by a third party authenticator. For a fee, these authenticators will determine if your Beanie Baby is authentic and also give it a condition score. You will see Beanie Babies described as “Museum Quality” as this is a term many of the authenticators will use. When the boom in popularity of Beanie Babies occurred in the mid 1990s there were fake and counterfeit versions that entered the market. It might be a good idea to authenticate your Beanie if it does have the potential to be worth good money. But if you are the original owner of your Beanie Baby, and are not interested in selling, then there might not be a need to authenticate it.
NOTE: All 1st Generation Hang Tag Beanie Babies will have a 1st Generation Tush Tag.
