If you were alive for the Great Beanie Babies Gold Rush, you remember that it seemed for some time that Beanie Babies were establishing themselves as a form of back-alley currency.
Not only did they release extremely limited special edition bears like Garcia the Bear (in honor of the late Jerry Garcia) and Princess the Bear (for Princess Diana), but people founded actual monthly publications about the beanie bag world. What started as quite literally a sack of fabric filled with plastic pellets eventually morphed into something absurdly sought-after, obscenely collectible and worth hundreds of dollars a piece. (later renamed Ty Inc.), Beanie Babies lit the toy world on fire in the mid to late ’90s in a way no one could have imagined. Manufactured and released in 1993 by Ty Warner Inc. These were all the rage in the mid to late '90s.
