I have 1997 princess beanie baby, brand new condition. All original tags. It says on its tush tag Handmade in China, P.E. Pellets, Oakbrook IL. Number 481 stamped inside rush tag as well.
Found from long ago as a kid. Don’t know the history, only it’s never been played with and stored with great care.
Hi Kayla,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Beanie Babies were enormously popular in the 1990s and widely collected, with the consequence that now there are many "on the market" without nearly enough demand for the supply so values on individual beanie babies are low.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage Beanie Babies "Princess" collectible stuffed bear
Made in China for Ty, Inc., of Oak Brook, Ill., 1997
Polyester fiber shell with PVC pellet stuffing
(DIMENSIONS)
CONDITION: client represents this to be in brand new condition
PROVENANCE: owned by client since childhood
$50-75*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
