Is Ziggy worth anything? I’m seeing conflicting information online since he has some errors on his tag. Just want to check before I give him to my niece!

I was given a collection of beanies that came from the home of a hoarder. The beanies are adorable but their surfaces are covered in layers of dust from sitting for years. Any recommendations on removing the dust in a safe manner while preserving the beanie? Anyone experience this? All feedback appreciated. Here is an example.

1 The head is 10-15% smaller

2 The hands are different

3 The feet are different

4 The ties hamburger emblems are facing his body

5 Neck is crooked.

so I hear this is a rare beanie, is it real? I found it online and I want to know if the beanie baby and truebluebeans authentication certificate is real.

I know nothing about Beanie Babies. These belonged to my wife when she was a kid, and she no longer wants them. From my general research, I don't believe any of these are 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation. I know there are different Beanie subreddits, so let me know if this should be in a different location. I am simply hoping to assess value on any that might be of particular interest and overall get them to people who will love and appreciate them.

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.

The only thing I could find different was this blackie the bear and it was made in Indonesia instead of china. Does that make it any more rare?

Went through my grandmas whole beanie baby collection to see if there’s anything worth value. Does anyone know a whole lot about these things? I know she loved collecting them but I don’t know a whole lot. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

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 know the princess diana one could be valuable but is this the right version? Also, I am looking to sell my collection I’ve had since I was a little girl, just don’t know where to go.

I love the 3rd gen beanies. I posted a few months ago when I just had a few - and I’ve since grown the collection a bit more. By my count, I think I have 18 more to go before my collection is complete, but it’s getting a lot harder (and some interesting ones I didn’t think would be super challenging - like the red Digger and Spot)! Good thing I love the hunt. 🤩

Does this guy have any significant monetary value ?

I used to love this plush when i was young, i can't find any other beanie kids that look like her though. I'm unsure if mine is some odd custom made or phony beanie kid. Let me know.
