Download Article
The Beanie Baby fervor may have cooled off since the early aughts, but you might be surprised how many of these plushies still hold serious value. But between the multiple print runs of most Beanie Babies, the “wishful thinking” ads on eBay, and the number of fakes out there, there’s a lot going into the pricing of a single Beanie Baby. While most of them aren’t worth more than a few dollars, some can sell for thousands of dollars. Here, we’ll break down everything you need to know so that you can get top dollar for your collectibles.
What are Beanie Babies Worth?
- Most Beanie Babies are only worth $2-5, but first-edition Beanie Babies, misprints, and limited print runs can fetch thousands of dollars.
- Princess the Bear is the most consistently valuable Beanie Baby and sells for $10,000-25,000. Bubbles the Fish sold for the highest price for a single Beanie Baby at $129,000.
- Copies of the original 9 (the first set of Beanie Babies ever made) are highly sought after and fetch $20-100 even if they aren’t in mint condition.
