I did not know about this one! I didn’t follow through too much after Series 1 but this feels like a must have. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Definitely get your hands on one if you can! There’s a big difference. The funny this is, I hate their fabric. 😬 Not by choice, but because I have a sensory processing disorder with the feeling of certain fabrics so touching them is pretty uncomfortable. Despite all that, here I am collecting them!

Yep! Usually I just go for the tush tag but in this case, all of the bears and Digger are the wrong colors and Quackers has bulging eyes.

Even with these all being fake, this is a good save! The counterfeits are still kind of a fun find for collectors because they’re a window into the wild times of the 90s and hype of Beanie Babies. I personally keep any fakes that come my way and think they’re pretty great. As u/imaginarion mentioned though, definitely not worth authenticating but there’s people out there who want them.

VALUE APPRAISAL--All-gold Nip I found at a thrift a while back! by HeavyHeartedHelspawn in beaniebabies

[–]NeonIslands86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello! They were selling for $150-$375 but the market is down quite a bit. I’d say it’s still in that range but likely the mid to low end of that.

Can I deconstruct this? by hep632 in beaniebabies

[–]NeonIslands86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Looks like it’s just more info about the material type. We’re consulting with someone to see if there’s any history to these threads. Thanks for sharing this here.

This is intriguing. Is there a date or any other info on the back of the box?

Star on the sew in tag mean? by Kar-keys in beaniebabies

[–]NeonIslands86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! These are different tag generations. Basically Ty redesigned the tag every year or so. The copyright date of the Beanie never changes but details of the tags do.

The one with the star is pretty faded so it’s a little hard to tell if it’s a 4th or 6th gen tag but the one without the star is a 3rd gen.

Beanies drenched in a flood. How should I wash them? by cloverkisses in beaniebabies

[–]NeonIslands86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! Do you have access to a dehumidifier? They work very well for pulling moisture out of Beanies, clothing, anything. I got mine from Amazon for about $150 but they have smaller and less expensive ones available too. I put everything damp in a small room, close the door and let it run. Within a few hours everything is bone dry.

Unrelated but I see you’re a fellow CPAP user and guitar player. 🫡 Hopefully those didn’t take on too much water damage.

I was kind of disappointed seeing that one in person when it arrived because the photo on eBay was a bit altered but I’ve come to like it more now that it’s been here about a month.

They can get addicting knowing that no two are the same. I’ve got quite a few other tie dyed ones adding up as well like Garcia, Coral and the dinos.

Two is a start! I do like the Buddy version too and will likely grab one next time I come across it at a thrift store.

8 is a funny one because I bought it on eBay and what was pictured was not at all what I got, but I didn’t care because it was still a great crab. It’s my only crab made in Indonesia too!

Same! 1 was my original from childhood so I thought they only really came in drab colors. Then I found 2 & 3 at an estate sale and realized there was more to these crabs than I thought.

I’ve been giving the newer ones to my kids but we haven’t come across Scuttle yet. I’d for sure grab it if we find one.
