Couple Bought Rare Beanie Baby and it's Worth More Than You Can Imagine
A young British couple bought a beanie bear at a garage sale for £10 and it now can be more
Leah Rogers and Ryan Flanaghan from Bude purchased a first edition Princess Beanie Baby at a car boot sale for £10, and it could be worth a lot of money.
The couple were at the car boot sale selling Beanie Babies (apparently people still do that...) when they spotted a first edition Princess Diana bear.
It is one of just 100 'first edition' bears made to honour Princess Diana after her death in 1997. It was made to raise money for the Princess of Wales Memorial Trust. It includes a poem on the tag which refers to Diana as an 'angel'.
Another Diana first edition is currently for sale on eBay for £75,000 and has over 250 people on its watch list.
The Daily Mail reports that the couple will start bidding at £25,000. This might be a bit presumptuous however, as we found the bears listed from around £3,000. Still, even if they only get £3,000 for it that's still a big profit.
A spokesman for Beanie fan club Ty Collector said only a handful of people know how many Process Bears were produced.
