Are Beanie Babies Really Back?


That is a question that I hope to never have to answer. The Beanie Baby craze of the 90's was like nothing I've ever seen before. The lovable animal bean bags were a must have. Everyone from kids to moms to grandparents were collecting them. If you were lucky enough to get in early you might have had some of the rare ones that were priced in the hundreds to thousand dollar range. The Beanie Baby craze was taken to new high when McDonalds launched their mini Beanie Baby promotion. Each kids meal included one mini Beanie Baby. The response was so large that McDonalds across the country limited each customer to only five Happy Meals at a time. Most times the entire supply at each store was gone within one day.

The Beanie Baby craze is definitely not back, but I'm sure there are still plenty of collectors out there. For those collectors that are still out there I have the ultimate Beanie Baby for you. Acg inc is auctioning off the original Beanie Baby. As you know the most valuable Beanie Babies were the bears. This auction is for one of the original bears released in 1993. If you're a true collector then you can't pass this one up. I don't recall such a craze since Beanie Babies, but I'm sure there will be one someday!

"YOU WON'T FIND ONE OF THESE ANYWHERE ELSE !!!This is a GENUINE Vintage 1993 Ty ORIGINAL Teal "OLD FACE TEDDY" (8.5 inches). They are EXTREMELY RARE, in any of the six originally manufactured colors. The hang tag shows his official name as simply, "TEDDY" and is marked Style 4051.

I am the Original Owner. It is in "MINT UNHANDLED" Condition, as is the Hang Tag & tiny white manufacturer's tag. The Hang Tag has been in a protector since the day they hit the market..."
