💡 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 just inherited my aunts beanie baby collection.. I haven’t counted all of them but it looks like 75 to 100 of them. They are all in mint condition. She had them stored in a cedar chest. Everyone of them were in Ziploc bags and she had plastic tag covers on everyone of them. I don’t know much about their worth. I don’t have the room to store them. Is there anyone that buys quantity beanies? Thank you

Hi Hyperwarp –
I would be potentially interested in buying your collection. Do you have any 1st or 2nd generation beanies? The heart tags don’t have a star and just have the letters TY. If you could email photos that would be great. My email is adam1.morrow@gmail.com
Thank you,

I have a Princess, made in Indonesia, pe pellets, a space in the bottom part under the poem, and what looks like a comma between the words “us” and “long” in the 3rd line. It’s obviously a typo of some sort. There’s a kind of shadow under the print that looks like there may have been something else there or a printer malfunction. Any idea what it’s worth?
I don’t understand what 1st generation means. Or second for that matter.
