On May 17, 1998, David Wells, the New York Yankees' left-handed pitcher threw a Perfect Game against the Minnesota Twins. A crowd of over 49,000 was present, nearly filling the stadium to capacity. A notable segment of the audience had been children attending the special Beanie Babies Day. Kids under the age of 14 had received a Valentino Beanie Baby along with a unique, numbered commemorative card.
Valentino Bear.
Brown nose
“Original” spelling on hang tag.
“2-14-94” Dob spelling tag.
Handmade in China w/no inner stamp on tush tag.
“1993” and “P. V. C Pellets”
spelling on tush tag.
Pics available. Any idea if any value?
I have the exact same one! I have no idea what it is worth though.
Not sure if this is worth any but it has brown nose, no star on the tush tag the eyes are placed uneven, pvc pellets, yellow star on the hang tag but the letters inside the tag are bolded.
I have a Valentiono, brown nose,1993 Tush tag, made in China, PVE pellets, 4th generation swing tag (with yellow star)Two misspelled words on swing tag, Original and surface. Do you know it’s value based on this? I know you say it’s impossible to have 1st gen tush tag with 4th generation tag, but I do! My tush tag has the star so it know it’s 4th, not 3rd gen but tush tag definitely says 1993.
Have the same one did you find anything out?
My Valentino Beanie Baby has a generation 5 (I think?), but it doesn’t have the misspelling of “origiinal”. That word is spelled correctly.
My name is Sabrina Martinez I have Valentino the bear is white with a heart on the left hand side red ribbon and it has a tag of beanie baby original date of birth February 14th 1994can someone please let me know how much it is cuz when I look it up it’s saying it’s a lot of money but then I see other sites and a saying as little money
I have a Valentino with no head, is that worth anything
That’s a big error – lol
Hi Joe mama. While researching this bear today (8/28/20) for my daughter, I Just came across your post. I just had a HUGE laugh-out-loud moment. Shared it with my family as they heard me laughing. Just what I needed in these crazy times!
I would like to know if 1st Edition and 1st Generation are the same or mean the same.
I have a question. We came across a Valentino and need a few questions answered. It has a misspelled “suface” on the tag, brown nose, and pvc pellets. In a case with tag protector. What is this thing worth?
I have a Valentino with both the misspelled words (ORIGIINAL, SUFACE), has a brown nose, a semi colon instead of a regular colon, and P.V.C. pellets instead of P.E. pellets. Could you tell me how much this would sell for?
I have seen Valentino with errors sell online for thousands. Look it up on ebay and use the “sold” filter. These ppl saying there not worth anything don’t know what they are talking about.
I have a valentino bear with a brown nose, what is a valentino bear with a brown nose worth?
They all have brown noses
What would the value of a 4th gen without errors or hang tag be worth?
My Valentino has pvc pellets both “suface” and “origiinal” are both spelled wong the handmade in deos have the extra space..anyone know what its worth someone please help
