I have been collecting Beanie Babies since about 2024! They are the sweetest little friends you could ask for! Here's a brief history of Beanie Babies taken from the great Wikipedia!:
"Beanie Babies are a line of stuffed toys created by American businessman Ty Warner, who founded Ty Inc. in 1986. The toys are stuffed with plastic pellets ("beans") rather than conventional soft stuffing and come in many different forms, mostly animals. Beanie Babies emerged as a major fad and collectible during the second half of the 1990s. They have been cited as being the world's first Internet sensation. They were collected not only as toys, but also as a financial investment due to their high resale value."
I collect primarily the bears and the bunnies. I have 11 beanie buddies, some birthday bears, 4 rabbits, rainbow Picadilly and Merwyn from the Attic Tresures collection, and ten Peace bears. I love the tie dyed beanies because each one is so unique! You never get the same one twice.
This page is dedicated to Mongo Bear, my XL Peace Bear!
My hang tag policy (the red tag):
To the shock and dismay of many, I always remove my hang tags. I don't plan on reselling my beanie babies and they don't have much value anyway. Also I like to hold them and wash them so a tag just gets in the way!
