My mom was all about them during the 90s when the hype was big. She bought and sold a lot back then, made a little bit of $.
I'm looking at one right now in the corner of my room lol. She got me a few of them back in the 90s.
I'm pretty sure she still has a few large totes filled with them sitting around somewhere.

They will eventually be worth MILLIONS!
Actually I have the Britanica Princess Diana one in packaging still which is supposedly worth a lot I think. I gave it to my brother.

I have two that I kept, just googled them and ebay has them for like $500 each mint. Mine are rugged as hell though, we used to throw them at each other. The ones I have are Peace and Libearty originals
I remember one summer it was like a competition to collect them, my aunt drove us from mall to mall trying to find different ones. There were whole stores that only sold beanie babies, packed with people collecting them. The only thing that I really remember is that every store we went in was full of the shark one, and sold out of like every other one. So many sharks
Puffkins were cool too but I never really had any

I have one that looks like my childhood dog kickin' around somewhere. After a cursory googling, the Penguin looks awfully familiar too, and I think that one was around in my youth as well.

Maybe one or two official Beanie Babies and some Beanie Baby clones, some won in skill cranes

I found this topic to be extremely funny! My parents also jumped on to the beanie baby train in the glorious 90s. They gave me so many totes full even though I protested until I was blue in the face. I'm not sure where they are now, but they definitely have not been under my roof for at least 10 years.
Shhh. don't tell them that. My dad might spank me.

Wish I still had mine. I think my dad still has em stashed away somewhere. My brother and I used to collect em, then have "beanie baby wars" and throw them at each others heads to, you know, prove we weren't wimps for buying beanie babies.

I remember when they were so popular that there were Beanie Baby stores. I remember having a hamster and a frog I really liked but the wife's dogs got ahold of them years and years ago.
