TY Beanie Baby, Butch the Bull Terrier - Original, Rare and Retired Collectable Phoenix AZ

TY Beanie Baby, Butch the Bull Terrier - Original, Rare and Retired Collectable with Tag Errors Beanie Babies were a nostalgic toy, one which was familiar to multiple generations—young and old alike. Beanie Babies are toys are stuffed with plastic pellets ("beans") rather than conventional soft stuffing. They come in many different forms, mostly animals. Created in 1993, Beanie Babies emerged as a major fad and collectible during the second half of the 1990s. They have been cited as being the world's first Internet sensation in 1995. They were collected not only as toys but also as a financial investment, due to the high resale value of particular ones. Beanie Babies are deliberately understuffed to set them apart from most stuffed animals on the market which could not be posed easily. Ty Warner has said that this under-stuffing method made the toys look "real". Another important design element is the tag. Since the beginning, Beanie Babies have included two tags for identification: a heart-shaped "swing tag" at the top, and a fabric "tush tag" at the bottom. Both tags have been redesigned completely over time. The company's strategy of deliberate scarcity, producing each new design in limited quantity, restricting individual store shipments to limited numbers of each design, and regularly retiring designs, created a huge secondary market for the toys and increased their popularity and value as a collectible.
