The main way to identify a valuable Beanie Baby is to check its tags – both swing tag and “tush tag”. Each generation had a different tag design, so you should be able to identify which generation yours belongs to using this chart. Tush tags have more variations than swing tags, so it’s a little more difficult to work out the generation of your Beanie Babies from tush tag alone.
Anyone who was, or had a child in the 90s or early noughties will remember the Beanie Babies craze. The collection of animals created by Ty Warner were a huge hit in the mid-90s and beyond. Those enamoured with the toys knew one day that they’d become valuable collectibles.

Tags
A beanie baby with intact tags will bring a higher price than one without tags. If the toy has a tag error, such as a printing mistake, that increases the value.
Hang Tags
Also called a swing tag, these tags are attached to the beanie baby’s ear. The hang tag briefly served as a gift tag.
Tush Tags
A tush tag is attached to the beanie baby’s bottom. Tush tags have multiple variations compared to the hang tag. So, identifying a beanie baby just from a tush tag is more difficult.
