Your old Beanie Babies might be worth a fortune. If you’re ready to part ways with them, this could be a quick and easy way to earn cash in 2026.
Of course, you can’t score a major payday from all Beanie Babies. Some of the factors that make them worth money include rarity and limited production, condition and origin tags, tag errors and variations and historical popularity, according to SellYourToysNow.
Browsing the recently sold listings on eBay is one of the easiest ways to gauge the value of your collection. To get you started, here’s a look at top Beanie Babies that sold for nearly $1,500 or — much more in the fourth quarter of 2025 — meaning their value will almost definitely hold in 2026.
