My only experience with Beanie Babies was like when I was a kid my cousin came over with a few of them and told us that we gotta hold onto them because they were gonna be worth a lot of money some day and this was right in the middle of the huge craze for them and I just remember clearly thinking like -Wait why would anyone buy this? - and then we put it away in the same cabinet with our fancy dinnerware set.
Unfortunately we never actually bothered to do anything with it and only remembered we even had them like years and years later long after the craze died down.

Nice to hear a somewhat accurate account of the Ty story for once! There's no valuable version of Claude the crab, though - there's been a rumour circulating for years that he's rare but they literally sold millions of them! Spelling mistakes on tags don't actually add value as they sold hundreds of thousands of them before correcting the mistakes - but people still seem to think they have the only one with spelling mistakes!

Listening to this I-m trying to remember some of the ones I had as a kid (they were mostly my sisters actually lol) I still have a pair that I really like, they-re the normal July/Ruby Birthday Bear and the mini version of it from McDonald-s. I think my sister had the same thing but for June instead. Anyway, very interesting to listen to.

I collect Patti the Platypuses (I have 20+ but I've bought them all for prices between $0. 50 to $2. 00) and I once helped at Etsy lister figure out if her -rare- light pink Patti was real or a counterfeit -- it was a fake! She wanted $200 for it either way.

Beanie babies were never a big thing where I come from, but I've always found the nostalgia around them fascinating. I've learned so much today and listening to Allegra is always lovely -

The most valuable version of Princess (PVC pellets, made in Indonesia) will get you around $50 - $60 on a good day - but gullible people still list them for thousands, haha.

I've been following Polygon for about two years now, and this is the first video I've seen Allegra Frank on the videos. Good to put a face to all those articles!

Doctor: Sir you only have 40 minutes and 50 seconds to live before the cancer kills you. What are you going to spend you're time?

I used to get these at a local toy store that had a coffee shop next door. And those beanie babies always smelled so good. Coffee beanie babies.

Absolutely NO ONE can get Punchers the lobster for only $20. 00! The book value is approximately $3, 000. 00 for a mint example!

I only ever owned one Beanie Baby and it was Pinkie the unicorn. I think I still have it in my closet somewhere.
