Beak was released in tandem with a bigger Beanie Buddy version, which is even rarer as it was retired after less than a year. Beak's tag reads: According to the blog Ty Collector, there were 588 of these bears made, with each swing tag numbered and signed by Ty. The best look, in my experience, that fuses “low maintenance” and “cuteness” is a slightly shorter, less poofy muzzle, short hair on the crown and medium length eyebrows. Of course, the Beanie Baby market crashed, hard. In 1999, the bubble burst, seemingly overnight, rendering most of the stuffed animals worthless. So are Beanie Babies worth anything anymore? Yes, there's still a market for them. And the rarest Beanies are worth thousands.

Bottom line: Several Ty Beanies were named Sammy, but in this case, we're talking about Sammy the bear. Sammy, shaped more like a real bear than a traditional Beanie teddy, was released on Jan. 1, 1999, and retired less than a year later. His tag had two extra spaces, and Lips Beanie Babies with both errors are worth the most. 31. Original Clubby Beanie Baby (Tie) Errors happened frequently. The third-generation Bubbles has mismatched thread around its mouth, while the fourth-generation Bubbles has tush tag errors. This version with white paws is extra valuable thanks to several errors that boost its rarity factor. On its swing tag, it has a period instead of a comma after Oakbrook, IL. It also has three exclamation marks in one place, along with uneven foot pats and whiskers. 48. Dotty the Dalmatian (Tie)

122. Roger the Pirate Bear Beanie

It was also a limited edition release and was kept in mint condition, which added to its worth. 19. Ringo Baby Racoon Beanie Baby

This collector's quality version was never played with, and has one major error. The year on the swing tag reads 1997, while the tug tag year reads 1998.Bottom line: Lizzy the lizard was one of the earliest Beanie Babies made, with a release date of Jan. 7, 1996. She was sold for two years before retirement, and her bright blue and yellow fabric was a hit with kids. There are six generations of tush tags for this guy, and the most valuable is the original, first-gen version with both the first-gen tush tag and the first-gen swing tag.
