Originally released in January 1996 and retired in May 1998, Weenie the Dachshund was the first Beanie Baby to stand on all four paws, driving up his value. The classic edition is made with PVC pellets, and there's a rare edition that was made in Indonesia but features a Canadian tush tag. Another valuable doll was featured in sports promotions for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Finding a Weenie with tag errors could also score you big bucks. One was sold on eBay for a whopping $45,000.
