Hi Meredith,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The Beanie Baby market is often subject to overvaluation and there are myths surrounding Beanie Baby values, both for ones with - and without - tag errors. Websites like eBay and Etsy - which are unregulated - are rampant with fraudulent sellers posting Beanie Babies at exorbitantly high prices and then the BBs either don't sell or sell privately at undisclosed prices. (For an article that goes into detail about this, see: https://www.vice.com/en/article/epnwmn/investigating-the-fake-ebay-market-for-dollar25000-beanie-babies).

Recent examples of this Beanie Baby that have sold at auction have brought prices ranging from $15-25

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
