["Ryan and his sister used to collect Beanie Babies," Rogers told the Daily Mail, so he had something of an inkling as to the bear's value. The pair intend on using the windfall they get from the Baby as a deposit on a house. "It's so hard for young people to get on the property ladder, so we think this could really be a blessing," Rogers said. ]

what mouthbreathing retards thought a stuffed animal that was mass produced and low quality would ever be a collector's item?

Where did they imagine all these millionaires interested in paying 50k for a beanie baby were gonna come from?

Same as the dumb farts who bought "#1 Issues" of Marvel/DC comics back in the 90s. The 90s were a weird time for that poo poo, but thankfully eBay helped put a final nail in that coffin right quick.

some older kids stole my TipToe when I was in kindergarden and stomped it into mud in front of me, then refused to give it back.

the following year some brat stole my Cheezer and rubbed it's face in a kraft single and wrote her name on the tag, which I did get back because I said I would kill her. but that rank cheese smell never came out.

gently caress beanie babies.

I had one of those Princess Di bears, but it was the regular one and not the one that was worth tons of cash.

I think the only ones that are worth anything now are the original dinosaur trio, which I never owned and a select handful of other ones.

Nov 5, 1999, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: Attorney Frank Totti looks over papers while his client Frances Mountain sorts out Beanie Babies with her ex-husband Harold Mountain in Judge Gerald Hardcastle's Family Courtroom in Las Vegas November 5. The couple, who were divorced four months ago, were ordered to divide up the collection valued at $2,500 to $5000 but were unable to do so by themselves. The collection was ordered spread on the court floor and divided up one by one under the supervision of Family Court Judge Hardcastle.

My then girlfriend was hella into them and it turned into a bottomless pit since they had new ones all the loving time. And the rare bears poo poo was ridiculous..Hallmark was literally scalping beanie babies for $40
