Despite the continuation of the line, the most expensive Beanie Babies are the same ones that were rare and valuable during the original Beanie Baby craze. For instance, fewer than 2,000 wingless Quackers the duck dolls were produced and the rare Beanie Baby may now be valued in excess of $1,300.
So it turns out that some beanie babies can make you rich. Young couple Leah Rogers and Ryan Flanaghan bought a purple beanie bear beanie at a car boot sale in Bude, Cornwall for Â£10 â it could now be worth more than Â£62,000.
