Patti the Platypus
Many of the original nine Beanie Babies carry value because they were only available in small quantities before the hype of Beanie Babies hit their peak. Ty released Patti on January 8th, 1993, with a magenta color. Though different colored variations have come out since Patti's original debut, the magenta remains the rarest and most valuable. Add in possible errors and defects, and Patti's value only increases. In fact, some Patti toys have rare Korean four line tush tags. The tag alone can make a standard Beanie Baby carry a worth of almost $2,000. Add in the rarity of a magenta Patti, and it's easy to see just how expensive they could become. Current sale listings vary from a few thousand dollars to almost $20,000.
