Hi Frances,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Contrary to popular thought, Beanie Babies failed to be the great investment many hoped they'd be and the vast majority - even the limited edition BB's - are worth less than $50 at auction today. It is simply a matter of too much supply and not enough demand. The fact that there might be "errors" on the tags is not sufficient as those "errors" were made on hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of bears.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage Ty Original Beanie Babies "Curly" Bear
designed in 1996, made in China for Ty, Oakbrook, Ill.
of cinnamon plush fabric, with glass eyes and nose, purple ribbon and original heart-shaped swing tag.
8 inches long
CONDITION: not examined in person but appears to be in excellent like new condition
PROVENANCE: inherited from original owner
$30-50*
*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.
