Breaston tag is Canada
Brown nose black eyes

Hey!I would recommend Ebay or Ebay like sites.or love my beanies link above.
Mine is probably worth nothing since it doesn’t have a swing tag :(. The tush tag is very faded so I can’t tell if there are any misspellings. Is it supposed to have a brown nose? Because mine does.
I have a valentino with a 4th generation hang tag and a 6th generation tush tag

I have a MAPLE THE BEAR and it’s a teeny beanie. It is in the original package. The hang tag is looks flat it doesn’t open like a book the tush tag is black and white and the letters are too small to see, I tried looking through a magnifying glass but I just can’t make out the words. As I said it’s in the original package and I don’t want to take it out. I’m pretty sure I have something special can you tell me any more about its worth?
Probably a McDonald’s version. $1 or so.
Hello, I have a valentine bear with the misspelling for “original and surface”. What seem to make this 1994 bear unique is that it’s heart is missing. I’ve found no reference to any Valentino bear in existence that has a missing heart, so I was wondering if you have any insight? Thanks
I have a valentino in good condition with spelling errors on tag. Origiinal on the front and suface on the back. The hang tag says 1994 and the tush tag reads 1993. Is this worth anything?
I have a Valentino with a 1st gen tush tag and 3rd gen (3rd variation) swing tag. He has a brown nose. I’m trying to sell a collection of babies for my mother-in-law. I have no idea if this Valentino is worth anything.
I have a TY Beanie Original Baby.The Beanie Babies Collection Valentino stamp number 109 brown nose, black eyes, also the dates on it is 1993 and 1994 I think fourth generation also P. E.

I have a Valentino bear with brown nose and wrong dates on tags, no misspelled words. No shiny stamp in tush tag. Any ideas on worth?
$5
I have a Valentino with mismatched dates on the tush tag and other tag. He has a brown nose, a star on the tush tag but also has a stamp inside of the tag and is made of pe pellets. Could this be worth something?
mismatched dates on the tush tag and other tag were how they were originally made.
Can you help explain articles like this one that state this is one of the rarest beanie babies? It seems like they’re actually worth $5.

That’s just a very poorly researched article. One can go on eBay, Amazon, or find Valentino bears locally, with the tag errors shown in the article, for less than $10. There are some rare Valentino Bears and I’ve tried to show those in this article. The 2nd Generation Hang Tag – 1st Generation Tush Tag version is very rare and easily worth over $100. 99.999% of people will not have that version. They will have a version that is worth $5 or less.
I have a “Valentino” 1993, made in Oakbrook, Il U.S.A. reg #1965(KR). The tag is the regular tag however, the star is rainbow with beanie buddy on it. I haven’t ever seen the rainbow star. Can you let me know the worth of this.
