💡 What Makes Beanie Babies Valuable?
Condition matters: If the toy is well-used and shows noticeable wear, that will dramatically impact the final sale price.
Tags are critical: The Tags play a major role in determining the value of Beanie Babies. Not only do they identify the toy, but the condition of the tag will also factor into the value. Beanie Babies with no Hang/Swing Tag will not be worth as much as one that still has the tags attached.
Authentication: Many of the Beanie Babies listed above are authenticated by 3rd party authentication services. There is a cost associated with grading/authenticating your beanie, usually around $15-20 when shipping is taken into account. If you have a rare beanie, or a 1st generation one, then you might want to consider getting it authenticated to maximize value.
Beware of fakes: There were many fake and counterfeit beanies that were created during the boom of popularity the toys had in the 1990s.

I have a trio set of Hippity, Hoppity, and Floppity 1996 original beanie babies. What are these worth. I do not have them online for sale yet.
Maybe $1-$5 each or so.
Hi I have full completed sets of the cards – some golds and a hand full of others.
Where would I find out information on them? Please and thank you in advance
Here is some information on the cards: http://lovemybeanies.com/1998-beanie-babies-cards-series-1-checklist/
I have quakers and roart but I am missing the ty heart tag. They are in perfect condition. Just wanted to know around what type of value if possible. I have more as well like peace bear and Valentina with tags.
Without the hang tags they will have minimal value. The Quackers could have some value if it still has a 1st Generation Tush Tag: http://lovemybeanies.com/1st-generation-beanie-babies-tush-tag/
I have 50 plus beanie babies all vintage condition that I would like to sell.(princess Diana , patti , peace ,etc)
I have Princess, Valentina, Angel, Glory and many more, all in perfect condition with the heart tag . I want to sell them, how can I know their worth and best way to sell it?
I have some pretty old beanie baby I would like to sell.
I have a gently used, almost mint tags 1995 Ziggy Zebra with punctuation errors on 3rd generation swing tag with 2nd generation tush tag. It’s missing the comma after Oakbrook & has no U.K. after the 8HH.
Your listings of value show this to be $34.99 however would the value be more with these tag errors?
Thank you!
Gee it’s great to get a reply!
Maybe
Wow! Great answer! Lmfao
Ok it’s worth $1000
I have 200 plus ty beanie babys. From garcia and peace and valintino. 2000mil curlys 2 different ones all from 1993thur 98. Mint cont all hang tags tush tags and mist of them have error in tags what is their worth would like to sell them

I have a white beanie baby with pink ribbon around the neck. He has a brown nose n black eyes. The Ty tag is in the plastic yet. In excellent condition, what is it worth?
What’s it’s name?
I have a Garcia bear (pvc pellets, “use”, no comma, etc) that has a white stitch under the eye and his face is deformed (by the factory)…no nose crease. His head just kinda slopes down to a cone shape. I can’t find any others like it and I’m wondering if it would increase the value. I’m not a collector, just bought the ones I thought were cute and happened to stumble across him. I also have a jumbo Schweetheart if anyone wants him!
There are many counterfeit Garcia bears – so it would be hard to determine without images.
He was purchased from Hallmark when they first came out. I bought it myself. I should have clarified that I stumbled across it while going through my old stuff at my parents’ house. I’d be more than happy to send a photo.
You can send me a photo on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovemybeanies/ – or if you have a picture on some kind of photo sharing site, you can post a link and I will definitely check it out.
I am interested I wana start collecting for my nephew, so please do send my way!

Hi there I was hopping you could help me out with some info. on the ty beanie baby named curly. I have 3 of them dated all the same but all three are different from each other one has the old style ty bear face the other two kinda look the same but one is missing a dimple on the side of the face plus the two tags on all three of them don’t say the same things. I need help with knowing what is misspelled or misprinted exactly. Thank you for your time I hope you can help!!
Ty made Curly bears for many years, and there are several known oddities and errors associated with them. The original poem is:
A bear so cute with hair that’s Curly
you will love and want him surely
To this bear always be true
He will be a friend to you!

Without the tags it all but kills the value.
