Thank you for all the research that you do, I’m sure it takes a lot of your time. You are knowledgeable and honest about this dubious subject.
I have recent stumbled across what seems to be a rare collection of ty beanie babys. All have errors as I’v read above and them some. In this collection there is the Erin bear with all the error and no red stamp in the tush tag. Lastly there is a Franny ty 4th of July Beanie Baby. Her eyes are very close and there is no Birth date inside the swing tag, under her name and the poem with many type’s. Finally the tush tag is brown with gold or yellow sticking with Oakbrook spelled like I just did. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you for your time. Shelly Elnicky
All those sound like common ones
I have a Cashew, born 2000 and looks like a 5th Gen. However on the inside left of the hang tag, below “The Beanie Babies Collection” it has lines for Ty Inc., Ty Canada, Ty Europe, and Ty Japan. There are no city names following each of the 4 “Ty … ” I have at least 50 other Beanie Babies and don’t think others are missing the city names on the left inside of the hang tag.
Is this error worth anything? Thanks.
Negative

I have a Daisy (looks to be a 4th Gen Hang Tag and 3rd Gen Tush Tag) but the word “surface” is misspelled on its Tush Tag. It looks like 4th Gen Tags for Daisy aren’t worth much, but how much more for a misspelled word on the Tush Tag?
I have a Disney set of Mulan beanies but the cricket has a tush tag labeled Mulan. Any thoughts ?
