2. I have a second generation Valentino Bear with a speedy the Turtle Tush Tag. What is the value of this bear?

   1. Hello! It would probably depend if it had it’s hang tag or not and what Generation the Hang Tag was.

      1. The bear is a second generation, the tush tag 1993 is a Speedy the turtle, but the bear is a Valentino Bear with a hang tag DOB 02-14-94.

         1. Thank you for answering so expeditiously.

         2. Valentino Bears began with 2nd Generation Hang Tags, and 1st Generation Tush Tags, but there are many different versions. Names of Beanie Babies on Tush Tags didn’t begin until the 3rd Generation: http://lovemybeanies.com/3rd-generation-beanie-babies-tush-tags/

            Without seeing the tags, you probably have a 4th/3rd, 5th/3rd, or 5th/4th version. If it was in decent condition, the right person might pay around $10 for one with a wrong tush tag.

            Here is some information on other Valentino’s: http://lovemybeanies.com/valentino-beanie-babies-price-guide/ If I find prices for error versions I will be sure to add them to the page.

            1. Thanks for all of the info on Valentino. I am getting quite familiar with the Beanies. 😉

3. Hello, I have several of these beanies with 1st generation Tush tags but 2nd generation hang tags. How do I determine the worth of them?

      1. I have cranberry bear tush tags says 1993

      2. I have the ones with the folding hang tag and 1st generation tush tag. They are: Bones, Waddle, Twigs, Manny, Bucky, Daisy, Inch, Chocolate and Splash. Are they worth anything?

         Thanks!

         1. You’ll have to take a look at those a little better, Bucky, Inch, Waddle, and Twigs won’t have 1st generation tush tags. There are links to 6 Generations of tush tags here: http://lovemybeanies.com/1st-generation-beanie-babies-tush-tag/

5. If a tag has a halogram on it what does that mean

   Reply

   1. I believe Ty started to put a halogens as a way to prevent counterfeiting from China Etc, this was done in3td generation and beyond. I may not be a 100% but I started collecting in 95. If I’m incorrect someone please correct me.

6. Hi. I have bags of beanies but I’m wondering about a few that have ’94 hang tags and ’93 tush tags, They are Mystic the unicorn (iridescent horn), Valentino, Inky (pink), Zip, Quackers, Mystic the unicorn (brown horn) and Daisy. I also have Zip with a ’95 hang tag and a ’93 tush tag. Finally there is Rocket that has the earlier hang tag date (’97) with .an older tush tag date (’98). My daughter teaches elementary school and has asked me for all of the beanie babies so I want to double check to see if any of them have value.

   1. Hello! The mismatched dates do not make a difference in the value of the Beanie Babies. That was how they were originally made. The only versions of the ones you listed that would have value would to have a 1st Generation Tush Tag: http://lovemybeanies.com/1st-generation-beanie-babies-tush-tag/ Versions with other tags are common and mostly worthless.

7. Have literally hundreds of Beanie Babies that are in their original containers and some that are 10 year addition and can’t even begin to tell you how many… many many first time ones with tags and information on them… they are or were my new husbands late wife and she bought them by the dozens…. I do not really want them at all but have no idea where to get the best prices for the rare or the first one’s made in perfect condition… Can you please direct me on my search for the correct venue… I know we could open a store…..

   1. Hello! The best plan when you have many different beanie babies is to look for ones that have 1st Generation Tush Tags: http://lovemybeanies.com/1st-generation-beanie-babies-tush-tag/ they should be easy to spot.

      Versions with 1st Generation Tush Tags might be worth something. Versions without 1st Generation Tush Tags are rarely worth anything. Let me know if you find any!

25. After doing extensive research I have found that just because there are errors on swing tags and tush tags does not automatically mean the beanie baby is valuable. The most valuable ones have the single one piece swing tag that does not open. They are tough and close to impossible to find and too expensive to buy unless the beanie baby God’s allow you to stumble upon one
    There are billions upon billions second generation swing tag bb’ s out there . Highly unlikely to sell these for more money than you originally paid
    Entsy , EBay and Amazon listings with outrageous prices on 2nd gen swing tags and tush tags are by people who have not done ANY research. Enjoy what you have…dont think you are going to be the next beanie baby millionaire!
