Product Information

Bottom line: Chocolate the moose is another of the original nine Beanie Babies and was the last of the nine to be retired. Boasting an unusually long run, Chocolate was introduced on Jan. 8, 1994, and wasn't retired until nearly five years later on Dec. 31, 1998. Bottom line: Happy the hippo was released on June 25, 1994, and retired a year later on June 3, 1995. He came in lavender and gray, with the gray version only being available with the first-, second- and third-generation swing tags. Bottom line: Patty, introduced on Jan. 8, 1993, was the sixth of the original nine Beanie Babies. Several versions of Patty were released between her launch and her retirement in 1998, including one in fuchsia, magenta, raspberry and maroon. She was only sold for a few months, making her one of the more difficult-to-find Beanie Babies. She was released on Aug. 31, 1999, and retired less than four months later on Dec. 23. 42. Inch the Worm (Tie) Bottom line: One of the Ty's classic Beanie Baby teddies, Roger the pirate bear looked just like a regular teddy, only with an eye patch, a pirate hat and an embroidered skull and crossbones on his chest. Roger was sold exclusively in the Vedes store in Germany, so he's quite a treasure for American collectors.

Gloria was made only in the United States, first released on May 30, 1998.The white bear is adorned with red and blue stars and has a festive American flag embroidered on his chest. Bottom line: Nip the cat was made in 1996 and was retired at the tail end of 1997. During that short time, several versions of Nip the cat were released, including a solid gold version and one with pink whiskers.Bottom line: Jabber the parrot Beanie Baby loves to talk. The brightly colored bird is one of the most colorful Beanie Babies, and that's one of the reasons he's so valuable. Bottom line: This rare, third-generation teddy doesn't look especially unique, but not many copies of it were made. Featuring a vibrant purple fabric and a green bow, the teddy was one of the first of Ty's redesigned teddy line.

The most valuable Claude the crab Beanie Babies are these first-edition versions, particularly the ones with errors that set them apart from the rest. This version with white paws is extra valuable thanks to several errors that boost its rarity factor. On its swing tag, it has a period instead of a comma after Oakbrook, IL. It also has three exclamation marks in one place, along with uneven foot pats and whiskers. 48. Dotty the Dalmatian (Tie) His tag had two extra spaces, and Lips Beanie Babies with both errors are worth the most. 31. Original Clubby Beanie Baby (Tie) According to Beaniepedia, these Beanies that still have the Nana tag are some of the most sought-after Beanie Babies.Bottom line: Released in 1996, Bubbles the fish was the most popular fish Beanie Baby ever released. While Bubbles was updated several times with slight variations between editions, the process wasn't exactly seamless. Bottom line: There was not one but three different versions of Inky the octopus, including a gray octopus, a gray octopus with no mouth and a smiling pink octopus. This is an example of the extremely rare pink version, with the older PVC pellets and several tag errors. Bottom line: This Billionaire bear has a deep-red fur with a gold ribbon, gold dollar sign, and is dotted with sparkles. Bottom line: This Libearty is rare because it has a swing tag that says he was born on the Summer Olympics of 1996. But the Olympics are overly protective of their Olympic name, so subsequent versions of the swing tag removed the Olympic reference.

This rare Beanie Baby has numerous errors, including a missing comma, no stamp on the tush tag and mismatched birth years on the swing tag and tush tag. 68. Fairchild the Cat (Tie) The originals made in 1996 remain the most valuable, particularly those with errors. 2. Large Peace Bear Bottom line: Scoop, a pelican Beanie Baby, had the biggest beak of any Beanie Baby bird. The dark, slate blue material used to make his body was also used to make Lefty the donkey and Crunch the shark. He was first introduced on Jan. 1, 1997, and was retired after just a year and a half. Some versions of Bernie came with incorrect tags, but every version is considered valuable. 55. Legs the Frog (Tie) Bottom line: Valentina, a bright, fuchsia-colored bear, is related to the similar Valentine Beanie Baby Valentino. While Valentino is white with a fuchsia heart embroidered on his chest, Valentina is fuchsia with a white heart.He was released on Jan. 1, 1999, with a June 1998 birthday. Twenty thousand copies of Mac were given out at a St. Louis Cardinals game on June 14, 1999, but he's still surprisingly hard to find. Bottom line: Scorch, a magical dragon with iridescent wings and a sweet little red tongue, was released on Sept. 30, 1998. This copy was authenticated by a toy appraiser called True Blue Beans, and he was worth more than usual, thanks to a mismatched hang tag and tush tag. The tush tag is a first-generation, while the hang tag is a second generation.
