During the peak of Ty Beanie Babies popularity, many counterfeit versions poured onto the marketplace like on sites like eBay. Savvy Beanie collectors during that time turned their passion for the collectibles into a business and began authenticating Beanie Babies.

Authenticated Beanie Babies come in a sealed plastic case. The cost to authenticate is generally $15+ for the top level service. The two most active Beanie Babies authenticators still going are True Blue Beans and Peggy Gallagher. Together they have authenticated tens of thousands of Beanie Babies.

Some authenticated Ty Beanie Babies can sell for hundreds of dollars.
