Beanie Babies 20th Anniversary
1 / 25
Beanie Babies! At one time, it seemed almost everyone adored them. Collectors believed the value of the tiny cloth animals stuffed with beads would continue to increase, but they were wrong. Now, toys that once for hundreds of dollars are now almost worthless. Beanie Babies were introduced in 1993, and by 1995 the fad had begun to take off. By 1999, value plummeted and the toys can be found on eBay for a fraction of their original retail price. The following photos are from the AJC archives. The captions (like the one that follows) are those that ran when the photos were published. ... 970122 - Dunwoody, GA - (lft to right) 10 year old Sarah Gregory and her sister 9 year old Anne pose in their room with their 110 Beanie Babies in their room Wednesday 01/22/97.
