From a recent email to us,

Hey Dirty Butter, I have a question…

How popular are Beanie Babies right now? I know they are nothing like they used to be when they were first introduced, but silly me collected them like crazy and never got rid of them.

I’m just wondering if my collection would have any value now? Or am I just out of luck?

Thanks for your help,
Dana

I really don’t know how to answer Dana. We’ve sold a few Beanie Babies, like these little bears, but we don’t know enough about them to buy wisely.

I would suspect that there are still quite a few Beanie Baby Collectors out there, who would be able to answer her better than we could, so ….

Can you recommend sources for her to put values on hers? How about the best way to sell them, if that’s what she decides to do? Can you suggest any Collector’s Forums or other sites she might want to check out or join? I’m sure she would appreciate any help you could give her.

How ’bout some comment, folks???
