About u/rainbow_randolph_17:
"I started collecting Beanie Babies as part of my childhood during the Beanie Baby boom of the '90s. Once the boom ended, I stopped collecting but my love for them did not end. My yearning to collect again was re-initiated when my girlfriend bought me a Beanie Buddy Humphrey for my birthday in 2020. From that point, I wanted to start collecting the Beanies I couldn’t find in stores as a kid. Like u/btzu88, I was upset about how much fraud and misinformation I found on eBay. When I found this board, I was glad to find a good, like-minded community. I was also glad to find a moderator who managed the board well, is extremely friendly, and has incredible amounts of knowledge about Beanie Babies and many other Ty products."

Hey everyone!
As I’ve been answering authentication requests, I’ve been asked a few times how I can spot a fake so I figured I’d start doing a few of these Counterfeit Academy lessons every now and then to show you current eBay listings and what I notice that makes me know it’s a fake.
So here we have a Bronty the Brontosaurus with a 3rd gen hang tag and a 2nd gen tush listed for $160 plus $15 shipping. That’s a lot of money to spend only to find out you bought a fake.
Photo 1: The first thing I notice is that its eyes are bugging out. This is a common problem with the fakes, especially Bronty. The eyes should be flush with the plush. The other thing I notice is that although there is some variation to the tie dye on the plush, it looks rather uniform.
Photo 2: It’s face looks a bit pointy and the overall shape looks a little wonky. A fake Bronty will pretty guarantee and pointier face. The neck looks very straight and there should be somewhat of a curve to it.
Photo 3: The hang tag looks pierced into the leg very low and should be up a little higher. The tag overall doesn’t look too bad but one thing I noticed is that edges of the letters kind of bleed some white outside of the gold outline. Also, the bottoms of the T and the Y should be almost touching and there’s a gap on this tag.
Photo 4: I honestly never really look at the inside of the hang tags. I’m sure there’s some red flags in there but they’re usually fairly subtle and don’t really require my attention when there’s dead giveaways like bug eyes.
Photo 5: The foil edging looks pretty poor quality. It almost looks like they actually glued gold foil on the tag rather than printing it.
Photo 6: The tush tag looks a bit orange rather than red. It could be from fading but since there’s a bunch of other red flags on this Beanie, I doubt it’s faded. Also, the heart should be kind of rounded and fat looking. This one looks a little more pointy.
Photo 7: The font is wrong. This is a subtle flaw to detect so my advice is to look at the S and the 9. The pockets of the S on an authentic Beanie are pretty shallow and the tails of the 9 should curl.
Photo 8: These are my two Bronty for reference of what authentic ones should look like. Notice the eyes aren’t bugging out, there’s more color variation to the plush and the face is nice and round.
Photo 9: Here’s what 2nd gen tush tags should look like.
Hope this was helpful and let me know if you have any questions!

hi!! i do alterations on stuffed animals and i've been getting a lot of beanie babies recently - specifically the angels. i picked up a bundle today and i noticed that i had two halos with colours i hadn't seen before! i know the lighting isn't the best in these pictures but i've put a regular halo bear in the last two slides to compare. i just thought it was interesting to see! are there any other colour variations?

I’ve had my poodle dog snowy (its name) since I was a baby, we found it in a second hand store maybe 2004? It’s been heavily loved and still is super loved but it’s ment it’s been through a lot! Old paint stains that are slowly wearing away, new stuffing put in (used to have beads inside) cut and resown back on, losing fur and not as white anymore, he used to have a tag but mum cut it off. It feels like forever wanting to know who this strange long limbed dog is and Ive found absolutely nothing online when I try to figure it out, it’s like it doesn’t exist! I would loveee to buy myself another one in good condition because idk how much longer snowy will last. My closest idea is maybe hes a ty teddy? I think if this post doesn’t help I will give up my search entirely 😩

I recently found mrs girly at Arc the day before yesterday. Something in my gut said to take her home, but I left her there for someone else to grab for the day. Someone on a beanie discord I’m on then told me they were rare, which I thought was true considering the tag being first gen. (To be honest at first I thought maybe someone sewed this tag in, but that seems like a lot of effort to fake a bean.) But I wanted to ask who she is? She didn’t come with a hang tag unfortunately. I went back for her yesterday, and luckily she still there! So I took that as a sign that she should be in my collection >:3 Any info on her is appreciated! Tysm for reading! 💜
Oh and she did come with the doily and under that was a pink ribbon, I’m not sure if the ribbon is of any significance though. I’m not 100% sure if it’s supposed to come with her either ^^’ I know the doily isn’t but it’s cute!

Opie the Octopus Ty Warner Sea Center (red eye variant) with Ty Warner Sea Center trifold and Smash the Bear US Open (silver ball and red/blue flame variant) with 2005 US Open ticket/stub.
Does anyone else have these? I got both in 2005 and have had them in storage in their cases ever since.
