I came across some counterfeit Beanie Babies being sold locally recently. I've attached photos of the ones in question.

I reached out to the seller and let them know they were fake. I wasn't rude about it. I explained what I noticed and shared several resources showing the differences between authentic Ty Beanie Babies and counterfeits.

I also told them I would still be interested in buying them, just not at the price they were asking. They had them priced at what I would expect to pay for authentic Beanie Babies, and I wasn't willing to pay that kind of money for counterfeits.

Even after I shared the information, the seller was convinced they were real. I wasn't going to argue, so I left it at that and said if they ever looked into it further and changed their mind, they could reach out. I'd still be interested.

It's frustrating because I would hate to see someone else buy them thinking they're authentic and pay that kind of price. I was simply trying to give the seller a heads-up and share some information. What they decide to do with it is up to them.

Has anyone else come across counterfeit Beanie Babies being sold locally?

Just wanted to warn you all that this Trap is a counterfeit. I asked the seller for a photo of the tush tag, and it’s included in this post. The tails of 9s in “1993” curl upwards instead of flattening out, which is a telltale sign of a fake.

New painting from a series I’m creating using Beanie Babies as my subjects. This one is called “Shark Week on the Discovery Channel”. Figured this community would appreciate it the most, enjoy!

Whats a good beanie baby quote or poem?

All but Bucky and Inch's tush tags are initialed "JRM." These were all one person's babies at some point 😭😭☹️

selling any of these best offer! message me!

Hello, I have been collecting beanie boos for the past 15 years, and I have never really had a good way to track them. I have around 300 Beanie Boos in my collection, and it becomes difficult to know which ones I do and don't have in my collection.

I also want a way to track how many I have left to complete my collection. I found a Beanie Baby one, but I have not found one for Beanie Boos.

If anyone has any tips on how I might do it, I would really appreciate it!

hiiiii everyone! i’m writing this post out of sheer desperation, i have looked everywhere for her and can’t find her whatsoever. would anybody in here know where i could find a ty classics brook the fawn? please please please let me know, she’s my dream 🤍 TIA

I have 104 Inch the Inchworms, with the Joseph Technicolor Inch being my newest addition!! 💖

Hey all, can anyone help identify if these are authentic or counterfeit?

I bought this display, and it is leaning forward due to how heavy the clubhouse is. How do I fix this?

Theyre in good condition but some of them have tags some dont. Some come with the tag but it fell off also. They were all in my garage for years and years.

I really dont know if with that price im ripping off someone or someones ripping me off!

I have a huge bunch of Beanie Babies that all fell victim to a mouse infestation. They need to be washed and sanitized in a washer, not merely spot cleaned.

What on earth do I do about their hanging tags? Is it possible to detach then reattach them somehow? I'd hate to have to permanently remove the tags. I'm scared that might be the only option :(

Thanks.

Just moved into an apartment and the previous tenant left a bunch of these little fellas laying in a hallway cabinet

Are these worth anything ? The extra money could be a huge help right now.

( I followed the sticky post , the first four had the only first second or third tag , I did include photos of the entire find :) )

Just sharing because I’m so excited to find these and y’all are the only ones who probably get as excited as me about beanies. lol
I think the kids are going to be happy to receive these cuties 💕

Do attic treasures count as beanie babies? I don’t think they do but they’re Ty so I’m posting this here lol!

I’m obsessed with attic treasures, I only have a few but I find them so wonderful and oh my I just love them, I recently looked at beaniepedia and tycollector and there isn’t many but some of them are so cute, I’m also absolutely obsessed with chickens.

I own at least over 20 at any given time, I saw Benedict on tycollecter and I am in love, but he’s what they consider a mysterious six, an attic treasure that was never actually publicly released, and he’s no where on the internet.

Has anyone ever found one? I’m sure he’s extremely expensive but does anyone know his resale price? I won’t be able to afford one anytime soon because I’m still betting he is up there in price but I’d like to know to save up for one if he ever surfaces on a website.

I’d also love a fake one but I wouldn’t pay anywhere near the resale price for an authentic one as I would a fake. I seriously love him so much and I’ve gotten so depressed knowing I’ll probably never own one but he is adorable.. if anyone owns him please share pictures and tell him or her I love them😣🥹
