Beanie Babies were deliberately promoted as "instant collectibles" by Ty Warner, as a means to con gullible and unsuspecting buyers that his cheaply-made stuffed toys would have investment value.
The "rare" McDonalds Beanie Babies were shipped to each of the 40,000+ McDonalds outlets in huge cardboard cartons -- and are regularly found at flea markets, garage sales and antique stores selling for less than $1.00 each.
Big reveal: Beanie Babies have NO value, because TOO MANY were manufactured.
He made millions of dollars hoodwinking his customers, and became one of the richest individuals in the United States.
The "retired" Beanie Babies were actually oversold inventory which retailers no longer wanted on their shelves; so Ty Warner came up with the marketing campaign that those particular Beanie Babies were going to be "retired."
Result? Beanie "investors" rushed to gobble up all those "retired" stuffed toys, under the mistaken belief that anything being "retired" must eventually mean "rare."
No -- it simply meant that Ty Warner didn't have to pay retailers for returned merchandise -- the Beanie "investors" paid the retailers, and Ty Warner never had to pay a cent in return fees.
The tag "defects" were the result of poor proofreading in the Third World countries in which the Beanie Babies were manufactured -- and NONE of these "defects" were "rare," since the tags were printed in quantities running into the tens of thousands: NO tags were EVER printed in single quantities, as that is not economical for operations of printing presses.
Don't believe me? Check out this article from the History Channel --

·1 year agoMe too my mom donated her large collection with rare, tag errors even McDonald's full sets originals. 2000 and 90s. We are building a children's home in Trinidad and Tobago and she donated these toward that to auction or sell as sets or individuals. Would love advice.
