I have slowly added these bears to my collection. Each bear is unique in its fabric and by the hand numbered/signed TY signature.
The #3 Billie was my first and I purchased it from a person In Portland who didn’t store it in a good spot so unfortunately it had grown mold inside of its authenticated case. As soon as I got it, I reached out to a trusted source who told me to open up the case, clean it or it would continue to mold. So this was my first cleaning project and it worked. I haven’t sent it back in for authentication bc I enjoy being able to pick it up and love on it!
My all time dream was to own Billie #7 bc of the firework fabric and the color scheme. He’s truly a beautiful beanie in person!
Last but not least I recently acquired a Billie #5 which was on my wish list too and the coloring of the fabric has blown me away. It’s stunning just like the rest. These bears are so special bc they were never released to the public. You had to work at TY or be a sales rep to receive one. I’m so grateful I have my set and I will enjoy them for many years to come.

The Billionaire Bear is an ultra-rare 1998 Ty Beanie Babies plush toy given exclusively to Ty employees and sales reps to celebrate achieving one billion dollars in sales. It features a shiny fabric with a hand-signed swing tag by Ty Warner.

The billionaire bears were a newer beanie to me within the last two years. Of course there are about 20+ different billionaire bears and booze, but I’ve covered this one and it’s been extremely hard to find at a price that I was willing to pay. But now it’s all mine and look how beautiful it is.

I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and show off my complete collection. Most are 3/1 and 3/2 but I have started to collect 2/1 and some commons/buddies that I love. Never been a person to collect things but I got the bug again to start 3 years ago and I’m so glad I did. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

I have officially collected every variation of the 3/1 and 3/2 beanie babies. Starting it off with the Dino Trio! The Dino’s like most of us were beanies that were already retired before we could get our hands on them. I only dreamed as a kid to own them and now my inner child is so excited that I am able to collect both varients!! What’s your childhood dream beanie?

I have been recollecting for the last 3 years. Patiently piecing together the original 3/1 and 3/2 versions on the original TY beanie babies. I am about complete. There’s a couple that are just insane to finds which are the forgotten 4. But I am determined to find them. Below are my most recent pick up’s to add to the collection. Enjoy!

I have been collection the 3/1 and 3/2 style beanies for the last couple years and I’m nearing the end. Just picked this guy up and look at his beautiful coloring. The tie dye beanies are by far my favorite. Each beanie is unique. Look at the oranges and rusts mixed with pops of greens. Such a beautiful fabric. Ty really knew what he was doing when designing these babies!! What’s your favorite tie dye beanie?

Holy Grail beanie! I love the Japan Exclusives!!

Last month I scored a 2/1 zip and of course I immediately went on the hunt for a 2/1 nip! I scored one at an incredible price and I’m so excited to share!! reunited and it feels so good!! Love these white face kitties so much. So glad they are now home!!

The beanie gods have been good this month. Stumbled on these two from the same person and was offered an insane deal I couldn’t pass up!! This Billie has been my dream beanie for the last couple years. I was able to acquire Billionaire #3 a couple years back and thought that was my lucky beanie. Well here we are!! She’s gorg and I couldn’t be happier!!
Patti Raspberry holds a special place in my heart. I have an authenticated tag-less raspberry P and was completely fine with that until this one showed up and I knew I had to have her!! Welcome home you two!!

July has been a great month for me to acquire some hard to find beanies. They seem to be coming out of the woodworks!! I have been on the hunt for all of the variations of 3/1 and 3/2 beanies for the last couple years and I’m nearing the end!! I’m so excited to share these beanies that are all MWMT! Bessie 3/1, Happy Lavander 3/1, and stinky. I had no clue that Happy L and stinky came in first gen tush tags but I do now!! What’s your favorite score this month!!

So… I’m supposed to be on a beanie buying freeze but that’s when all the good stuff comes along!!
I have been on the recollecting hunt for the 2/1,3/1 and 3/2 beanies in all of their variations. I am slowly but surely finishing out my collection.
I have been on the hunt for over 2 years for the infamous 3/1 blue lizzy. He has been seriously hard to find. Patience is a virtue and now I finally have him!!!
Dark stripes with a 3/1 tag in mint condition has been a struggle for me to find. They are over priced at best for not so good of tags. But the beanie gods have blessed me with a near mint stripes to add to the family and I couldn’t be happier. Look how gorgeous!!
Last but not least I was incredible lucky to score a near mint magenta whiskers white face(old face) zip for a hell of a steal and it’s a second gen to boot!! I am so excited to share these with the beanie world!! What’s your newest beanie you have scored lately?

My collection has grown over the last couple years and I am so proud of it. It’s displayed beautifully in my office for me to enjoy and keep an eye on them;). I have over 250 2/1, 3/1 and 3/2 beanies including a couple buddies and specialty beanies.

Learning what types of substrate work with different types of carnivorous plants.

My newest additions. I have been collecting the entire 3/1 and 3/2 versions of the original collection of beanies for the last 2 years and I was lucky to snag these two for insane prices!! Welcome home! I especially love the plush on this 2/1 Goldie and the coloring on this MWMT 3/2 sting is stunning!!
