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.
With some Beanie Babies selling for over 90, these items are definitely rising in value. In order to determine how much a Beanie Baby is actually worth, you will need to determine the condition of the item. Of course, having Beanie Babies that are in mint condition will be the most valuable. Mint condition Beanie Babies is ones that have no signs of wear-and-tear, their hang tags are perfectly preserved and there are also no defects within the item.
