💡 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.

  1. I have a 1999 Holiday Bear with just a tush tag (on tag is silver and shiney) which is in good shape just found it boxed away from when I was a child. Then I also have a Sparkle Mickey mouse 2014 with just tush tag and in very good shape. I justed wondered if they are worth anything.

  2. I am curious pricing roughly for a few Teddy’s I have before I would send anything in. I have teal new face and old face 2nd gen hang 1st gen tush. I have a purple old face 2nd gen hang 1st gen tush and a new face magenta/cranberry 2nd gen hang and 1st gen tush.

  3. I have a Fetch with plastic pellets and 2 different tags sewn in the tush. And I have a Mel with no stamp in the inside of tush tag. Does either of them have value?

  4. I would like some help in pricing a few Beanie Babies that my husband was given. I’m pretty sure that they are only worth a few dollars but I would like to double check.
    I am pretty sure they have 5th generation hang tags and the tush tags are red ink. Here are the ones I would like to double check.

  7. I have several beanies, many of which are on several sites, listed as valuable. For example, I have the Peace bear. On eBay I’ve seen some at $10 and others in the thousands. Is there any resource I could use to help determine if they are in fact valuable? Any help is much appreciated!!

    1. I have the same question as you. Were you able to find anything out? This is supposed to be the best beanie baby site yet nobody replies to these…..

  10. I have an original oddity Valentino kept in a pristine container WITH NO VALENTINE. He is a pure white bear with a “Valentino” hang tag and 1993 tush tag.

    I am open to replies.

  11. I have over 750 of the original Ty Beanies. I started collecting in 1994..I believe. All with both tags and in great condition. I’m wanting to down size and just keep 1 full collection for my daughter. I see so many different prices and surely dont want to be ripped off from scanners out there. Where do I start my research? Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thank You and have a great day.

  12. Hi, We found “The Attic Treasure Collection” Beverly with a brown jacket and a TY emblem on the back of the jacket. First, is she supposed to have a jacket and secondis she worth anything? Thanks so much!

  13. Does someone know how beanie babies are are priced from like two to two thousand dollars? I have a The End Bear I am hoping to sell for two thousand.

  14. ? value mint Bumble 2nd gen hang tag mint, 1st gen tush tag slightly folded, dated 1995, PVC pellets

    ? value mint Garcia & Valentino each 4th gen hang tag mint, 3rd gen tush tag mint, both dated 1993, both PVC pellets

  15. CORRECTION TO MY COMMENT! I just shared that I have a Garcia, but actually the 4th gen hang tag says Peace and 3rd gen tush tag says Garcia – sorry, my previous error! (all mint condition)

  16. I have a few Bernie babies that are worth some money such as Halo the bear, Jake the duck, Mystic the unicorn, and Valentino the bear. But none of them have hang tags how much are they worth?

  17. Hello, I have what I believe to be a rare Bernie dog. I was told there was a misprint on the tag when I inherited him but I am not sure what the error might be. Does anyone know?

    Thanks, Melissa

  18. I have tons of beanie babies that I’ve sorted and pulled any that look over $10 in value now need to confirm some that show up to $2000 value… anyone have advice in how to authenticate? Help… I’m swimming in beanie babies 😉
