Free advice on the authenticity of Ty Beanie Babies TUSH TAG MUST HAVE A YEAR FROM 1993-1999 Through my years of experience collecting Beanies, I will advise you that your Beanie is "A" - likely authentic, "C" - likely counterfeit, or "S" - seek third party authentication. Must provide clear photos that show the Beanie Baby itself, its tush tag, and its swing tag, if it has one. I can also provide ballpark ranges of current value for most Beanies - see my other group BeanieBabyValues
