For example, the purple “million-dollar” Princess bear (released in 1997 in honor of Princess Diana’s Memorial Fund) actually sold for $10,000 in January 2019.
So why so much? Other than being created and released for a very hong kong whatsapp mobile phone number list occasion, the Princess Bear also had PVC pellets (polyvinyl chloride) which are considered to be much rarer than the “less valuable” pellets made up of polyethylene (PE).
A Beabie Baby’s worth is therefore very hard to determine, and there are no official Beanie Baby Appraisers, only Authenticators who can vouch for a Baby’s worth.
So how can you tell if your Beanie Baby is valuable or not? You’ll need to consider these factors:
Release date or generation (i.e. 4th or 5th gen)
What the bear is made of
Irregularities or errors in the tag
Limited editions (regular vs. rare babies)
Limited supply
Color variations
Trends, hype
Collector preferences
Most bears sitting away in the dark corners of an attic don’t tend to sell for hundreds of dollars. As other reports have stated, sometimes the going prices on auction sites such as eBay don’t reflect the actual value of the bear. Sometimes it just depends on the current hype in the Beanie Baby sphere.
To further investigate how much your Beanie Baby is worth, you should consider joining Facebook groups like the Beanie Babies Collectors to connect with other fans of the franchise.
