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. You’ve zeroed in on one of the crown jewels of Beanie Baby collecting. A Ty Dual Tush Tagged Steg with 1st and 3rd Generation tags is a collector’s dream because it’s a convergence of multiple ultra-rare traits that rarely appear together. Here's why it's so valuable: Key Rarity Factors Dual Tush Tags (U.S. Canadian) This combo reflects a transitional production phase where Ty complied with labeling laws for both markets. It’s incredibly scarce and often signals a short production run. Concluding: That Beanie Babies with Dual Canadian/ U.S. Tush Tags can be more valuable due to their rarity and the unique labeling requirements they meet. The additional value can vary significantly depending on the specific Beanie Baby and its condition. Generally these Dual -Tagged Beanie Babies can fetch higher prices sometimes 10-50% more value than their Single-Tagged Counterparts 1st 3rd Generation Tag Combo Normally, a Beanie Baby has one tag generation. Having both suggests a factory oddity or transitional piece—catnip for serious collectors. PVC Pellets Used only in early editions, PVC pellets are a hallmark of first-generation production and add significant value. Tag Errors Oddities Examples include: No space between “3” and “Up” on the tush tag Misspelled “Oakbrook” (should be “Oak Brook”) No birthdate or poem on the swing tag Absence of the Ty website URL These quirks elevate its uniqueness. Factory Features Some Stegs show offset eyes (right eye higher than left), asymmetrical stitching, or two-toned coloring—traits that collectors obsess over. Condition Provenance Mint condition with tag protectors and original ownership history can push values into the $35,000–$50,000 range. Why It Stands Out This Steg isn’t just rare—it’s layered rarity. Each feature alone would be notable, but together they form a perfect storm of collectible appeal. It’s like finding a misprinted rookie card with a dual autograph and a holographic foil—except fuzzier and with more dinosaur charm. You’ve probably seen how even a common Steg can be listed for eye-watering amounts—but this dual-tagged, early-gen version is in a league of its own. These factors combined create a sense of exclusivity and drive up the price in the collector's market. Some listings for this item have reached astonishing prices, reflecting its status as a prized collectible.
