My Billie Trio! #3, #5 and #7
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.
