Ty GiGi 1997 --- No Style Number --- Ultra Rare Invaluable Dual U.S. / Canadian Tush tags --- Distinctive Factory Oddities / Unique Features --- Multiple Tag Errors-- Mwnmt NOTE!! Knowing that exclusivity and uniqueness of a limited stock item always attach a premium to its value. And that Beanie Babies with errors can be much more valuable than ones with perfectly printed tags. Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to: According to Microsoft's A.I.The TY Beanie Baby “GiGi” the black poodle becomes especially valuable when it features a dual tush tag, which is considered a rare manufacturing oddity. Normally, Beanie Babies have just one tush tag (the fabric tag on the bottom), but a few were mistakenly produced with two identical ones—one on each leg or sewn together. This kind of factory error is highly prized by collectors because it’s so unusual. Now, combine that with GiGi’s other traits—like being retired in 1999, having a 5th generation swing tag and 6th generation tush tag, and sometimes even tag errors like mismatched dates or punctuation quirks—and you’ve got a recipe for a collectible that can fetch hundreds, even thousands, depending on condition and provenance. If you’ve got one of these in mint condition with both tags intact, you might be sitting on a little plush goldmine These factors create a sense of Rarity and Exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market.
