Rare? Retired? JAKE??? Beanie Baby 1996? With tag Errors. A heartfelt collection that is more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane-a treasure trove filled with love, memories, and incredible value-the Holy Grail of Rare Retired Beanie Babies. Gathered by my dad and I between 1993 and 2000, every Beanie Baby has a distinct backstory that stems from memorable football card shows and special times spent at our local Hallmark store in Costa Mesa, California. These cherished collectibles were meant to be passed down to my children but now represent a wonderful opportunity for our family. I’m parting with these cuddly companions not only to cash in on nostalgia but also to give our family a fighting chance at homeownership someday. Don’t worry, the kids will get over it once they realize these bedtime buddies are now worth a fortune! I also have plenty more that are not listed yet! Please feel free to ask; I may have a particular Beanie to complete your collection. Don’t miss out on joining me in this exciting chapter-your perfect Beanie awaits!
