I have a recently acquired ERIN.. the Bear Teanie Tiny Beanie Baby that was Mfg in China in 1993 for McDonalds (as the Tush Tag states). It is an Irish (Green) Bear and has it’s original Swing Tag and Tush Tag. What makes this item unique is that it does not display an embroidered Shamrock on it’s chest over its heart… as do other similar bears on the internet…i.e. Ebay, etsy or Amazon. Is this a fake or do I have a QC problem with mfg in China? I can send you photos, just ask. Thank you.
I have a 1993 moveable limb black bear that I have been able to find online named “Ivan”, but has been misstagged somehow as “Fraser”. And also the tush tag looks strange compared to other photos I’ve found. Is this a manufacturers error? Is it worth anything? Any info you could give me would be very helpful, thank you!
Hi My daughter collected beanie babies when she was little. We had a lot of fun chasing the newest releases. We have donated most of these but I just found Nuts the red tag is missing but it does have the small white tag. Can you please tell me an estimated value? It’s in good condition. Thank you
I just found a Valentina with a “Millennium” tush tag. Is this rare and worth anything?
i have a PEACE bear according to the Hang Tag, Made in China, no errors in spelling, MINT CONDITION, with GARCIA on tush tag. ? value?
My wife and I have just found a “Weenie” dog with hang tag errors and the wrong tush tag. Has a “Snowball” tush tag. We would love to know any estimated value of this guy. He is out of her childhood collection of ‘babies’. Contact matt114689@yahoo.com if interested.
I have a Georgia beanie baby with a 3rd edition swing tag but the tush tag is a wine color with white letters and says 1993 and the legs and arms are jointed. Anyone have any information on this?
I have a peace bear 4th Ben hang tag with error origiinal. And 3rd generation tush tag… What’s its value?
I have a peace bear that has a tag the outside has all the beanie info but the inside is blank like another tag was inside it and that got the printing and not the one on my bear.
Are beanies that have a ‘sewing’ error worth more? I have a Smooches the frog where one eye angles up significantly the other more normally placed. He has a comical look. Just wondered if these kind of errors make them more rare , hence more valuable…thanks
I have a crush the shark ty with the tail tag that says Gracie, was wondering what it may be worth?
I have a Millenium Beanie Bear with an incomplete embroidery on the chest.
There is only one continent on the patch (South America-I assume). I have two others that look normal like every other Millenium that I have seen on the internet. I would think that this would make it more valuable. Please advise, thank you.
This site says millennial misspell ones aren’t worth much of nothing but I found on 2 other sites that they are worth a decent amount so just make sure you look into other opinions before deciding which are valuable or not
lol
I have “Hissy” the snake pvc pellets with “Wrinkles” hang tag and “Hissy” tush tag
I have a large collection of beany buddies and beany baby’s all have tags and mint condition. What is the best way to sell them.
I have an Osito from 1999 with 1965(KR) on the tag, no stamp inside the tush tag, missing space between Mexico and !, and the copyright is TY in caps. I keep seeing prices from a couple hundred up to a couple thousand. Are these legit errors and worth the price people are asking? I’m looking to sell it but I have no idea what to post as. Thank you!
I have a Spike the Rhino Beanie Baby with a tush tag for Nuts, I’m sure its not worth much with the lack of a market for these but I haven’t been able to find any info on this specific combo of BB and tush tag. An idea of the value for this would be cool but I’m mostly just commenting to hopefully give this tiny piece of info for the site just because I didn’t see this error listed. 🙂
when you look them up you get different prices in different information I have several was errors two three or more on the same Beanie Baby how’s the best way to get I didn’t appraise for to appraise them yourself with the right information

I have an original Claude crab (4083) that is in perfect condition. The hang tag belongs to Waddle and must have been an accident. Is there any value attached to this error? The tush tag is correct.
I have a Roam buffalo Original Beanie Baby. He is in good condition with the ‘Gasport’ instead of ‘Gosport’ error as well as the extra space between buy and ! At the end of the poem. I saw somewhere else that the ‘1965(KR)’ is an error as well. He has that error also. Can anyone tell me what he’s worth? I would really appreciate it. Thank You
I recently discovered my beanie baby “Batty” has a “Derby” tush tag. Wondering if anyone else has seen this before.
Question
I have a “Nuts” but I believe his right-ear is sewn on backwards (instead of both facing forwards, as I see in photos online, his right ear faces backwards and his left ear faces the forward (normal) direction. It makes me think he had 2 left-ears used when sewn on. Any chance that is considered a ‘rare’ error that may be worth something?
I can provide more info or a photo
I have a 1996 Mint Green Hippity, with the Original misspelled as ORIGIINAL and he has a Floppity tush tag instead of a Hippity one! He also has a long string hanging out from his leg, there is no hole, just a long thread that wasn’t cut off.
