For a brief time in the 90’s your parents were effectively thousandaires

A handful of those are probably worth a fair bit, but I can’t imagine how much time it would take to go through all of those and figure out which ones would be worth selling.

*”Beanie Baby Investors”* is a much nicer way to put it.

When my daughter was little she loved Beanie Babies, but to play with not to collect.

If any are still in packaging, see if local hospital wants them, they give to kids in the er

My mom has quite a few of the rarer ones mint in plastic cases. I should see how much they’re worth these days.

I can’t wait to see the look on people’s faces when this finally happens to funko pops. Sorry your grandparents didn’t sell out before the market crashed.

I am going through a divorce right now and I’m keeping myself distracted by doing fun things like manicures and replacing all the beans in a Beanie Baby with steel shot. I was surprised to see which are still somewhat collectible and which ones are dirt cheap.

I brought a box of my old collection to a friend’s party with lots of little ones. Each kid got to pick one and do whatever they wanted with it. Any leftovers got donated. Easy and cheap way for a fun afternoon.

A woman i know is a VERY successful businesswoman with a professional degree and her own company.
She also has 2k bagged and tagged beanie babies and has fallen for 2 pyramid schemes. Intelligence takes breaks.

Just out of pure curiosity do you have any of those 1st edition princess diana purple bears? I’d hold onto them if I were you.

Unfortunate…But if you could get a dollar a piece that wouldn’t suck…
Cool, what is it like being rich ?
When I think back to the insanity of the beanie babies, this picture is what comes to mind.
