Beanie Babies/PVC or PE?

Question
I was just wondering the value difference between the PVC and PE pellets. I know that PVC is the older generations, but didn't know if they changed the value of a beanie unless it was rare. I see them in thrift stores all the time now and check their tush tags, but am reluctant to buy them because PVC may be just as worthless!

Answer
Hi!It doesn't really matter about the pellets it matters more about the condition of the beanie and the condition of the hang and tush tags, as well as the generation of tags. The only one there was a lot of hype over the pellets was Princess the bear which is worth a little more with the pvc pellets. To see hang tag generations, go to wwwaboutbeanies.com. Thanks!Jen

I have been collecting beanie baby bears for about 10 years now and I am very interested how the phenomenon of collecting is getting popular again. I have over 200 bears and would like to help people figure out authenticity and values in the market today and connect with other bear lovers.
