How to Tell Tag Generations for TY Beanie Babies (1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Gen Hang Tags) BBToyStore.com
This video demonstrates the difference between hang tag generations for TY Beanie Babies. We get alot of emails asking us to explain what the difference is. We put this video together to show you what 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th gen hang tags look like from the front, back and inside.
1st Generation hang tag is the rarest. It is a single flat tag (not folded). It has the small front on the front and the name of the Beanie on the back. It does not have a UPC barcode or a poem.
2nd generation hang tag is folded like a regular style tag. It is shaped slightly different and has the small font on the front. There is a UPC barcode on the back. It does not have a poem.
3rd generation hang tag has the larger font on the front. It has no poem inside or the yellow star on the front. It has To___ & From____ inside the tag.
4th generation hang tag is a fairly common tag. It has the poem and birthday inside the tag. And it contains the yellow star on the front with the words “original Beanie Baby” written across it.
The Bears shown in the video are the original 6 colored teddies that TY has made. These are some of the most desirable TY bears you can get. They come in old face & new face form. All 6 colors are available for both versions. In the video we show the following bears:
Old Face Cranberry Teddy (1st Gen)
Old Face Teal Teddy (2nd Gen)
New Face Magenta Teddy (3rd Gen)
New Face Brown Teddy (4th Gen)
Old Face Teal Teddy (2nd Gen)
Old Face Violet Teddy (2nd Gen)

I have the cranberry one except mine is a replica and it has a second generation hang tag

The fourth-generation tag is my favorite because it has the poems and an original name assigned to each one of them. Makes each of them special 🙂
I have “Rooftop” TY baby. Has a white star, word “ original “ on it AND ANOTHER TAG attached! The second tag is blank on the inside and is in French oh wait there’s a third heart that is completely white both sides his birthday is October 4, 2006
How much is rooftop worst? Does any buddy know why there are three tags?
I have the pink one
I bought my lovely garcia from you guys!!! I love him and have been waiting for over 20 years!!!!
I got a question about a beanie I got. It’s Erin. The Irish one..
how do you tell generation on princess di beanie baby
What if you have the tag with the yellow star but no poem or name inside
I have a teddy bear brown from 1993, named Curly. The hang tag I lost but on the butt there is a tag with a registration number and made in Oakbrook I USA
What’s the difference between the different generations? Aside from the tags.
I have a pretty large collection of about 125 1-4th gen mostly case kept their entire lives and mostly swing tag protected. If you passed fourth generation but I have all the rarest ones I see online but I don’t know what to believe about what online says. I’d like to email you guys some images of what all I have and maybe you could help me value it or even buy it if your interested.
Thank you, Justin
Hello . I have a Ty cat Purrcy and the ear tag is totally different from the tags you have shown on your video. I wonder why?
The letter Ty are in a burgundy color and the tag has cat foot prints on it and the word collectible on the right side. Also in the inside it says : To From with love.
I wonder what generation my plush is . It belongs to the Attic Treasure Collection.
Hi guys! Whenever i am shopping for beanies on amazon i specifically only buy the ones from BBtoystore. Why? Because i know they’re authentic and in new condition. My favourite is peanut by the way light blue
