Hillary Clinton Lefty
In 1996, Ty produced Lefty the Donkey and Righty the Elephant to celebrate both U.S. political parties. They released new designs for Lefty and Righty in 2000, 2003, and 2008. For the most part, Lefty and Righty weren't worth much money because of their political nature and wide availability. However, a man brought two 2000 variations of Lefty toys when he met Hillary Clinton in 2006. The man had Clinton sign each Lefty for his daughters, making them truly exclusive. Originally, both signed Beanie Babies held a combined value of $50,000. Currently, a single Lefty is available for sale on eBay for $30,000. The sale listing includes newspaper articles of Clinton signing the toys.
