Four different versions were created, including tie-dyed without a tongue, tie-dyed with a tongue, pastel with a tongue and blue without a tongue. 12, 1997, Iggy the Iguana was released in 1998 and retired on Jan. The version that sold for $2,500 was the more common one with wings, but Ty also made one without wings that was on the market for just over a year. Quackers was introduced in April 1994 and retired in January 1998. Not too much information was included about this bear, except that it was brand new, authenticated and signed. Coral Casino Bear - $2,499Īnother Coral Casino Bear, this one went for $2,499 - nearly double the price of the other sold listing. He’s a white dog with black on the undersides of his ears, around his left eye, cheek and on his tail. Spot the Dog - in this case, the version without spots - was on the market from Jan. This is one of the few Beanies that truly is valuable, as only 25,000 were produced, according to Beaniepedia. The earliest version, which recently sold for $999, was introduced on June 25, 1994, and retired one year later. Humphrey is a cute camel with splayed legs that was produced in different versions, each with its own shade of brown. Clubby was released on May 1, 1998, and retired on March 15, 1999. The original is bright blue in color and has a tie-dye ribbon around his neck and a Beanie Babies Official Club button on his chest. Ty produced several versions of Clubby in different colors. One way to tell if an old face teddy is authentic is to look for a v-shaped seam on the back of the toy’s head, according to Beaniepedia. It also had two face varieties - old and new. Teddy the Bear, which came in six different colors, was first released on June 25, 1994, and retired on Jan. I hope you have enjoyed reading this post and that I have cleared up a few of the false rumours surrounding Valentino.Make Your Money Work Better for You 15. Her Birthday is on 14th February 1998 and the poem in her swing tag reads as follows: She was only ever released with a 5th generation swing tag and a 7th generation tush tag, making her quite a common (but cute) Beanie Baby. She is almost the opposite colouring to Valentino, with fuchsia colouring and a white heart embroidered on her chest. Valentina (pictured above) is often seen alongside Valentino, even though they were released years apart. The truth is that ALL Valentinos had a brown nose and tag errors were very common in the vast majority of Beanie Babies. Sound familiar? It doesn’t help when unscrupulous eBay sellers make up shill bids to drive the prices up. There have been many listings for Valentino on eBay for ridiculous prices, claiming they have a “rare” Valentino with a “rare brown nose instead of black” and “all the tag errors”. When Valentino was released with a 4th generation swing tag, he was given a poem and a birth date (14th February 1994). A Valentino with a 4th generation swing tag was mass produced, so is unlikely to fetch any more than about $5. With a 3rd generation swing tag he is rare- ish, but won’t fetch a high price like the 2nd generation. Valentino is only really considered “rare” with a 2nd generation swing tag, and most desirably, with a 1st generation tush tag. There have been so many false rumours about this Beanie Baby, it’s crazy. Valentino was first released back in 1995. I’m talking about Valentino and Valentina. These two are often thought of as a pair, although they were released four years apart. Today, I thought I’d write about two of the 90’s Valentine’s Day Beanie Babies as I have put a lot of focus into the later Beanie Babies and Beanie Boos recently. I hope you’re all having a lovely Valentine’s Day! Or if not, then I hope you’re enjoying the fact that it’s Friday! Yay!
