First-Edition Beanie Babies

People quit jobs to deal them. Most worth $1 now. Rare ones: $5,000+.

First-Edition Beanie Babies sparked a financial mania in the late ’90s, with Ty Warner’s $5 plush toys causing people to quit jobs and couples to fight over collections. Most are now worth about $1, but rare ones like a first-edition Princess Diana bear with PVC pellets have sold for over $500,000, though many high eBay sales are suspected wash trades.
