NOTE!! Knowing that exclusivity and uniqueness of a limited stock item always attach a premium to its value. And that Beanie Babies with errors can be much more valuable than ones with perfectly printed tags. Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to: According to Microsoft's A.I. Ty Beanie Baby “Ears” with Dual Tush tags—especially U.S. and Canadian versions—are considered highly valuable due to a combination of rarity, production quirks, and collector appeal. Here's a breakdown of what makes them so sought-after: ? Key Factors Driving Value ?? 1. Dual Tush Tags (U.S. + Canadian) Dual tush tags are never common. They occur only when Ty’s U.S. and Canadian distribution streams overlap during transitional production They appear only in: Transitional production Special labeling batches Limited regional compliance runs They signal authenticity, not aftermarket tampering Advanced Collectors know: Dual tagging is one of the strongest indicators of a variant that wasn’t mass?produced. And consistently pay 10–50% more for dual?tagged variants because they represent a manufacturing anomaly and a traceable micro?run. which immediately elevates scarcity The bilingual Canadian tag adds a layer of scarcity and international appeal. ? 2. Tag Errors Oddities “Ears” with dual tush tags often include tag errors like misprints, mismatched dates, or stitching anomalies. Examples include: PVC pellets listed when PE was used Birthdate inconsistencies between swing and tush tags Misspellings or formatting quirks ? 3. Limited Production Retirement “Ears” was introduced in 1996 and retired by 1998, giving it a short production window. Some dual-tagged versions were part of promotional runs (e.g., Oakland A’s giveaway), adding to their exclusivity. ? 4. Condition Provenance Mint condition with both tags intact (especially 3rd gen swing tag + 2nd gen tush tag) boosts value. Provenance matters—handmade in Indonesia or with Canadian origin can signal a rarer batch. Condition alone adds a premium. For Advanced collectors, condition is king, and MWMTMQ status can double or triple an item’s value especially for 1990s-era Beanies 5. Market Premium Dual-tagged “Ears” can fetch 10–50% more than single-tagged counterparts depending on condition and error types. Some listings for Ty Ears with dual tush tags have been priced as high as $5,000! If you have one, you might be holding onto a valuable piece of collectible history. ?Market Value / Scarcity of Comparable Listings: The market rarely sees this Exact Version in Mint Condition, which drives up perceived value. The absence of identical listings makes this version One-of-a-Kind, a Serious Collectors Item, and its value is expected to rise over time due to its uniqueness and condition.
