I bought this book today because I'm an avid Ty collector. There are so many Beanies not listed, and hardly any of the various other types of Ty products. Also only a few pages of each of the other brands of plush when I know there are so many products. This is just not a very complete book. If you want a much better, although still not perfect Ty collector guide, go to Bangzoom Press and buy the Beanie Babies Value Tracker from them.
While this book doesn't include every beanie ever made, it does have 1,200+, with a clear color photo for every one listed. About 70% of them are Ty, which makes sense because that's by far the most popular maker. And the photos are big enough to easily identify the beanies. It's got the best photos of beans and Ty tags that I've seen in a beanie book. It's not an exhaustive manual, but it does have a lot for its size. After all, it's a pocket field guide, not an encyclopedia.Also, it has a lot of information and tips on how to buy and sell beanies on eBay. While the prices are lower than secondary store prices, they're right on for eBay. Overall, I'm really pleased with it and I definitely think it's worth the price.
This is the best little book ever, (Tool for us collectors) can take it with you everywhere, compact and neat. 4 x 5". Use as a resource manual. I got into beanie baby collecting in 2006, buying Holiday beanies. Love to look through and see which ones I want to purchase, search for, or verify which one I actually have. I will not tell my age, but its over the age limit for beanie collectors, but I am addicted. The pictures are bright and they are referenced by Name*****. So easy to use, may purchase several copies due to wear already.
Misrepresented product this is outdated and does me absolutely no good. You should publish the year of the book more clearly
This book is a must for Plush Bear collectors. In one book was able to find values and identification for each category of bears manufactured by Ty. Book is small enough to carry in your purse for quick reference when out on the road. Perfect!
The book was very helpful in finding prices and information on variations.I would like it better if the layout was different...better spaced not so cramped up together
Love the book. Everything you wanted to know about TY beanie babies. Invaluable purchase - book is in excellent shape. Thank you.
I love to collect Beanie Babies! This book will help me at the thrift stores. This book will help tremendously.
