How Much Are Your Beanie Babies Really Worth? 41 Most Valuable Tys Of All Time

Here's what to know about the value of these rare Beanie Babies.

You know you're a '90s baby if you have a plastic tote full of Beanie Babies stowed away in storage. After all, it was drilled into our brains that someday, years down the road, our beloved Tys would one day be worth a small fortune. Ty even sold plastic tag protectors to ensure our tiny cash cows would get through our childhood years unscathed.

Because as we collectors know, a Ty without a tag isn't worth squat.

Well, your collection of Ty Beanie Babies may not afford you a small fortune (even with the tags) but a few select BBs might just go for a pretty penny. Keep reading for the most valuable Ty Beanie Babies worth money!

Note: None of the below prices are guaranteed. These prices are based on what bidders on eBay have offered or bought these Beanie Babies for. It's also worth noting that most Beanie Babies that are worth money contain errors on the tags—a misspelling or other inconsistencies.

41 Most Valuable Beanie Babies Worth Money

Large Wallace and Two Regular-Sized Wallaces, Cashew, and Huggy

As you may know, some Beanie Babies are worth more if they are paired with others in a "collection" of sorts. One such crew includes a Large Wallace Ty (a green teddy with a red check scarf) paired with two regular-sized Wallaces, and his bear pals Cashew and Huggy.

The large-sized Wallace is rare, but if you can pair him with the four other bears in the squad, then you could be looking at a cash-out of up to $600,000.

Weenie

This wee-sized Weiner dog—who just so happens to be appropriately named—comes with a hefty price tag. "Born" in '95, Weenie may have stopped growing in size, but his worth definitely continued to mature over the past few years. It's currently valued around $2500, but some Weenies can go for as much as half a million dollars.

15-inch Peace Bear, 9-inch Peace, Ringo, and Bones

Another collection of Tys, the quartet of 15-inch Peace Bear, 9-inch Peace Bear, Ringo (the raccoon), and Bones (a dog) can be worth up to $159,000 if paired together. As far as most expensive Beanie Babies go, Peace Bear on its own is definitely up there—about $5,000. But pair the 15-inch and the 9-inch bears together and throw in Ringo and Bones? That's quite a chunk of change.

Bubbles

When it comes to the richest fish around, Bubbles take the lead as it can be worth as much as $129,000. Released first in 1996, Bubbles had several different modifications throughout the time it was manufactured. These updates made the toy fish more susceptible to errors, and it's those limited-run Beanies that are worth a big buck. If your Bubbles is from '96 and features an error on the tag, it's time to cash in.

Piccadilly Attic

While Piccadilly Attic may not be the cutest Beanie Baby to look at, the bear dressed up as a clown is still—for some reason—worth a lot. One of the most valuable Tys on its own, Piccadilly's worth has increased in recent years all the way up to $125,000.

Batty

Batty the Bat could be worth as much as $124.9K, but there's a catch. To cash in on this estimate, your Batty has to have an extra foot as part of a rare production error.

Scoop

If you collected Scoop the Pelican back when he launched in 1996, then you may know that he was retired just two years later (but not before a major error happened in his production). Since his run was so limited, Scoop in excellent condition can fetch up to $50,000, but can be worth as much as $100,000 if the tag inside is completely blank!

Large Peking, Fortune, and China

This trio of pandas could earn you as much as $98,000. Of course, like the other collections on this list, each of the three pandasPeking, Fortune, and Chinamust be a set.

Libearty

The original Libearty was a white bear with a flag embroidered over his heart and a red and blue ribbon around the neck, and had a one-year production run. Later variations featured a striped body or a red-striped bowtie and red face. Prices on the OG Libearty vary, as all TY prices do, but we've seen this one go for as much as $75,000. According to Beaniepedia, Libearty was originally Olympics-themed for the 1996 Olympics (the year it was released). Due to copyright infringement, however, this idea was scrapped for the bear's American flag

Jolly

Jolly is a walrus launched in 1997. Retired just a year later, Jolly has big white tusks and a brown mustache and can be worth as much as $75,000.

Valentina

A simple magenta bear, Valentina's birthday is Valentine's Day. She's considered super rare, as she was in production for less than a year. Worth as much as $57,000, Valentina sometimes contains one of these rarities: "1999" on the tush tag instead of '98, no red stamp on the tush tag, grammatical error in the tush tag poem (an extra space before the exclamation point at the end of the sentence), or "TY" in uppercase letters on the back of the tush tag.

Sparky

The aptly named Sparky is a Dalmatian first introduced in 1996. Sparky was retired in 1997 and due to its rarity, can sell for as much as $55,000. But you can get even more money for your Sparky—approximately $90,000—if it has a rare white star printed on the tag.

There's one more another odd variation that can up Sparky's price. Sparky has been known to be wrongfully tagged with the tush tag of Bubbles, Dotty, Ears, Flip, Hippity, and Rover, so make sure you double-check yours (especially if it's been in a tag protector since you were ten years old).

Lips

Lips, a multicolored fish, was a rarity from the get-go as it was originally only available for order by those who had attended the 1999 Gift Show. But then, a mistake on the tag made it even more highly coveted by collectors. Some tags read "Lips the Fish" while others are wrongfully printed "Tiny the Chihuahua." Either way, you could be looking at a $53,000 payday.

Lefty the Donkey and Righty the Elephant

When paired together, Lefty the Donkey and Righty the Elephant could be worth as much as $50,000. However, there's one specific thing you'll need to look for: Hillary Clinton's signature. Yup, that's what makes this duo so coveted. Clinton signed a single pair of Beanie Babies in 2006 at the request of a doting dad. The Beanie Babies, of course, were for his kids, but today, they're worth a lot.

Steg

If you have an authentic Steg (a tie-dyed stegosaurus) you could be sitting on as much as $50,000. But authentic is the key here, as apparently counterfeit Stegs are more common than the real ones. To ascertain the difference, look for these telltale signs: An authentic Steg features recessed eyes flat to the fabric, three (c) symbols printed on the left side of the tag, and a 1995-only copyrighted date on the tush tag (as it was produced for just over one year).

Rainbow

Not to be confused with Rainbow Dash the My Little Pony or Rainbow Sock Monkey, Rainbow is a tie-dye or blue chameleon produced in 1998 and 1999. Some variations have a tongue, while others do not, but that doesn't matter when it comes to selling your Ty. You could get as much as $49,000 for this cuddly reptile, but be sure to check the tush tag: Some Rainbows were incorrectly tagged with Mel the Koala or Spunky the Cocker Spaniel tags.

Twigs

There are two Ty Beanie Babies named Twigs: a snowman and a giraffe. But it's the giraffe that could be sold for as much as $45,000 (all apologies to Twigs the Snowman). For a giraffe, Twigs' neck isn't all that long, but its tag could mean a big payout. Some Twigs are wrongfully tagged with Bessie, Bongo, Gracie, Inch, Snowball, or Weenie tush tags.

Valentino the Bear

Valentino (the brother of the aforementioned Valentina) is also worth a lot, as this particular bear is known to have plenty of errors. Some Valentinos have a brown nose instead of the traditional black, a white star on their tag instead of a yellow one, is made with PVC pellets rather than the traditional plastic pellets, or of course, contain misspellings on the tag. Any of these Valentinos can go for up to $45,000, and one with an error and a tag signed by the famed designer himself can fetch $50,000 or more.

But there's still good news if your bear does not have any errors (or isn't signed by an Italian fashion icon). Most common versions of this rare bear sell go for about $1,000, too.
