The gem of my collection is a Pre 1st Generation UK Patti the raspberry platypus! She was authenticated by Becky Estenssoro of True Blue Beans, and she is in MWMT MQ condition!
If any have Gen 3 tags or older, they're worth something. If they're Gen 4 or 5, this video goes over most of the ones that are notable in some way, and my subreddit goes into more detail if you need it. www.reddit.com/r/beaniecollectors/
Nice collection. Where do you buy your tush tag protectors? I can't find any but for the Gen 1 tush tags on eBay. I grabbed a bag of 3 Beanies for $3 at Savers thrift store this weekend for Dotty, which I didn't have in my collection. I also just barely saw there was a Lucky in the bag but didn't care since I have the common Gen 4 version. Well, when I opened the bag at home out popped Lucky, but it was a mint felt spot version with a Gen 2 hang tag. My jaw dropped. After buying these for 23 years I've never made a find like that.
Nice, that's a pretty cool find. Anyway, I've never bought any tag protectors aside from a pack of 100 hang tag sleeves and about 10 hard plastic ones, both from a flea market. Everything else I have (including the tush tag ones) have just come on the Beanies when I bought them, and I've shifted them around as needed.
I have a Mel the Koala Beanie Baby, but it has a circle shaped tag instead of a heart shaped tag and it was also was made by a corporation called “Pax”.

Very informative. I have a multiple error gen 4 or 5 Curly that I am still trying to fully id. 1996 tag with 1993 tush tag. Origiinal and Suface misspelled. The sold prices on EBay are very suspicious. They seen way too high. If you get a chance to answer, any thoughts would be appreciated.
It's no more than $10. The dates on the tags are always like that, they aren't supposed to match. The Origiinal and Suface errors are present on about 12 different Beanies including Curly, and they were printed that way for a few months. You can always list it as a selling point to bring the price up by a few bucks, but it's really not that rare or special.
@@BikdipOnABus Thanks for the info. There has to be some scam with the prices on Ebay. Some sold prices are in the thousands but most are what you say. The high sold sales prices are usually a new seller with no feedback coupled with a guest buyer with no history. Money laundering? Very strange. Have you seen anything like this in your experience?
@@bibliophile2707 You've pretty much got it exactly right, though it's not always something as dramatic as money laundering.

@@BikdipOnABus Great info! Thanks! After the research I did into the listing weirdness I feel I could have written that article. As with anything it pays to do your research. Especially for relative Beanie newbies like me.
By that description, no. PVC Pellets don't really matter on anything other than Princess, and neither do most errors. But mentioning that it has an error and not saying what it is also doesn't help matters. Peace is weird though, its selling points are hard to really describe. I wrote about it at the end of this post: www.reddit.com/r/beaniecollectors/comments/avp60j/the_truth_on_princess_peace_pvc_pellets_and_tush/
Hi I have a chocolate with a generation 5 tag and it have a wrong poem with the right name and one brown eye is that rare or a fake also I have a Gracie with a stripes tag and poem but the tush tag says Gracie is that also rare? Also can you upload more beanie baby related videos
I've not heard of a tag having the correct name but the wrong poem, that doesn't make much sense. Can you show a picture? Incorrect tush tags can increase value by about 50% on a good day, usually less. When it's on a common Beanie like this, it doesn't make a huge difference.
More rare than the Chinese one. If it has PE Pellets, it's still not worth a whole lot (about $15 max). If it's PVC, then that's a different story. The price guide puts Indo/PVC at $25-$125, which is a huge range, but that's based off ebay selling prices which can of course vary. If it also has the Canadian tush tag (in addition to Indonesian + PVC), then that increases it even further, with $145-$225 being the listed range.
@@Ruby-gc6yn Uhhhhh, no. Nothing like that ever matters. That's the kind of thing that I usually refer to when I say that ebay sellers are desperate to find anything at all that they can mention as a selling point.
So my mom bought these of eBay and we got the most rare ones and we got so much of them and we got them for 8.00 I 5ink the person that my mom got them from didn’t they know they were so expensive I think we just got luky🤣😂
Those aren't Beanies. The top of the inner left will tell you what they are. And no, they're probably not worth anything. The brown ones are Gen 5-6, and even the Gen 1s and 2s of that collection usually don't sell for very much.
Oh dang, hi. I'm not sure if I should be more surprised that you remember me, or that you found my channel. Or just slightly embarrassed that you found this video in particular. Out of my 2.5k videos, you just had to comment on one of the Beanie Baby ones.
Ah I like watching streamers sometimes. I came across another video first, thought the voice sounded familiar, got to this Beanie Baby one and decided, “Yes, this is the right guy.”
I have a snort the bull in extremely good condition with both tags, on the back of the tush tag it says OAKBROOK IL, USA and theres no comma between the Oakbrook and the IL so thats a error. It also has PVC pellets which are discontinued for beanie babies. How much is it worth? also its style 4002 and the cardboard tag has a little star that says "BEANIE ORIGINAL BABY" on it.
@@0beno683 no they don't. I know it can look that way, but it's because eBay is terrible at filtering out fake sales and actually displaying the accurate prices that people pay. For instance, if something is listed for $1000 and has a "accepts best offer" option, then someone buys it for $5, it'll still say it sold for a thousand. If you still don't believe me, look at all the identical ones listed for much lower prices that aren't getting sold. If they were actually such rare, high value items, people would be snatching them up.
@Terrence Wilkins If they are, I'd be one of the first to know, given that I'm in a facebook chat with the people who make the price guide. They could be making a "comeback" in the sense that more people will start collecting again, and that more of the terrible clickbait lists will be made, but there's no evidence to suggest they'll ever return to the prices and popularity levels seen in the 90s.
Thanks for the video! I have a 4th generation 'spinner' with an odd stamp inside the tush stamp. It's asian writing in a circle with the numbers 473 in the middle. Any ideas what this is or of course, is it worth anything? Lol Thanks in advance
That's a Gen 5. It's not anything you need to pay any attention to. All Beanies with Chinese Gen 6 tush tags produced after May/June-ish of 1998 will have those, with a wide range of numbers.
99% of the time, they're caused by fading. And the remaining 1% of the time, they're probably still caused by fading anyway, but there's always a chance that one was printed without yellow ink, and it's really hard to prove. In my opinion, they should never be considered an oddity that would be worth anything.
It was common knowledge in the 90s. There were lots of magazines and fan websites, many of which still exist or can be found in the wayback machine. There's also more up to date websites.
I have A princess with PVC pellets and I also have a Valentino with the original error origiinal and brown nose are they worth anything? And I have them in mint condition and I have lots more because when you start you cant stop lol
PVC Princess is worth a bit (the range varies, I personally wouldn't put them over $30 but they do sell higher sometimes). The errors don't really matter so the other wouldn't be over $10.
Nope. I pretty much show every notable Gen 4/5 in this video. And for the record, the years on the tags are basically meaningless. Ears isn't from 1995, especially not a Gen 4 one. I know that's what the tag says, but it's wrong.
@@BikdipOnABus Thanks for replying! I found an article and it looks like my Ears beanie is actually a 6th generation. I found a Chinese stamp with 426 inside the tug tag. Not sure if that makes a difference to the value? beaniepedia.com/blog/tag-identification/tush-tag-identification/
@@ScarlettDuchess It doesn't, and that would actually be a Gen 5. It's a Gen 6 tush tag, but you go by the hang tag generation when referring to the Beanie as a whole. The stamps were added to the tush tags around June 1998 and stuck around until the end of the generation. There's no difference in value between a Beanie with the stamp and one without. The one exception is Peace, where the stamp number can make a difference. (108 and 113 are rare, 107 and 114 are uncommon, everything else is common)
I have almost 250 beanie babies, all with tags, and most with cases. Looking to sell the whole lot together. Also have a lot of Beanie Buddies, a complete collection of zodiac beanies, nine 2002 World cup Champion, 25 Bamm Beanos baseball collection and all 12 months of birthday beanies. I've created a spreadsheet divided by generation and what is on the tush tag and what is on the Ty tag. None are 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation, but several are 4th. I got them from my stepmother when she moved across the country. I've never written on a platform like this so I'm not even sure if anyone will see this - just starting to search for options for over 300 of these adorable little friends :)
I have the McDonald mini Beanie Babies bears of "International Bears" Osito, Germania, Spangle, and one called The End also I have Lefty Righty and Liberty I also have Peanut are they worth much since they're mcdonalds mini beanies ?
All Teenies are worth $2 or less except the Malaysian ones or the UK ones with different names than usual (Mitch and Percival). If out of packaging, they're about 50 cents.
The worst video l have ever seen, why do this, when your info is incorrect, a person would need to be a Dr. Lawyer, or an Indian Chief, to keep up with all the wrong info out there, and with these Bears. At a time like this, with the country in the toilet with the Covid 19-20-21- Pandemic, everyone is upset, depressed, and all you can do is burst the bubble of young children who bought these Beanies with their pocket money in good faith, or. they were bought for them as gifts, I have friends who are collectors. Who bought these as collectibles, l have over 500 myself, bought in Ireland, England, Canada, Maine, then we have these videos, telling people that they have been had, just like the Potter Books, what you are saying is, unless you have something wrong with your book, or Beanie, it is not worth anything, we only pay for rejects. Boy America have we come far. Thank you for opening the eyes of the people, that have made these fools very Rich by buying their garbage. Who hired you to do this? I'm sure it was not the Chinese. Thanks for nothing.
You sound like a poor loser. You must have been HAD and now want to blame someone else for your misfortune. And I don't know of a child that bought these in the 90's with their allowance, that is depressed about that expenditure. You sound like you bought them as an adult. Millions of these were produced. They never stated that only a few thousand would exist. Just because someone says its worth $1000 or more doesn't make it so. I just found a big tub of these things while cleaning out. I did the research to know what to look for but looks like most are not worth what I paid for them when they were brand new off the shelf.($5). But I did not buy them as a collectible. Get over it.
99% of the time, a tag with a white star is a result of fading. It's very difficult to prove that one was produced that way originally. You pretty much need to get it authenticated by True Blue Beans, and in my opinion, it's not worth the money to do that, since it'll almost certainly just be judged as having a faded tag. There's really not that much of a market for tag oddities anyway.
Honestly I appreciate the Beanie content. I didn't know anything about them prior to your videos, but they are genuinely fascinating.
The gem of my collection is a Pre 1st Generation UK Patti the raspberry platypus! She was authenticated by Becky Estenssoro of True Blue Beans, and she is in MWMT MQ condition!
Thank you for making this, love the beginning specifically, something you can't really find information on.
ive never seen a product line so abundant with errors before. were some of these misspellings intentional i wonder? just to appease to collectors?
it's hard to keep that Chilly white fur in good condition. I'd say even in that condition someone might pay $20-$25. It's still a rare one.

I did the research to know what to look for but looks like most are not worth what I paid for them when they were brand new off the shelf.($5). But I did not buy them as a collectible. Get over it.
Something disturbing about adult men as beanie baby collectors -twenty years later. Such a waste of time and money.
I mean, it's not hurting anyone. I'm allowed to have an uncommon hobby.
are congos with white stars worth anything?
99% of the time, a tag with a white star is a result of fading. It's very difficult to prove that one was produced that way originally. You pretty much need to get it authenticated by True Blue Beans, and in my opinion, it's not worth the money to do that, since it'll almost certainly just be judged as having a faded tag. There's really not that much of a market for tag oddities anyway.
ok thank you yea the tag by the clip is a little damaged so that might be the case thank you again
and yea it's a 5th generation according to the capital I on the tag so its more than like faded
