The Ty Indonesian Dual Tush tagged International Bears / McDonald's International Bear Set is valuable for several reasons:
1. Rarity Collectibility – This set includes four bears: Erin (Ireland), Glory (USA), Britannia (UK), and Maple (Canada). These were part of a special McDonald's promotion and are increasingly hard to find in unopened, mint condition.
2. Errors Variations – Some versions of these bears have tag errors, which make them even more desirable to collectors. Mistakes in spelling, misprints, or unique manufacturing quirks can significantly increase their worth.
3. Indonesian Dual Tush Tags – The Indonesian-made versions with dual tush tags are particularly rare. These tags indicate production variations that collectors seek out.Concluding: That Beanie Babies with Dual Canadian/ U.S. Tush Tags can be more valuable due to their rarity and the unique labeling requirements they meet. The additional value can vary significantly depending on the specific Beanie Baby and its condition. Generally these Dual -Tagged Beanie Babies can fetch higher prices sometimes 10-50% more value than their Single-Tagged Counterparts
4. Historical Significance – These bears were released during the peak of Beanie Babies mania, making them nostalgic and historically significant in the world of collectibles.
5. Market Demand – Prices vary widely, but rare versions with errors or pristine packaging can fetch hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
These factors create a sense of Rarity and Exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market. Making this Mint Most Valuable Combination of Ty's International Bears Sets a Serious Collectors Item whose Future Selling Price will only continue to Rise!

TY Mc Donalds Britannia, Maple, Glory, and Erin Iconic Original Coveted Investment Quality International Bears ( I.E. Larger Minis, Not Teenies ) --- 1997 --- Invaluable Limited Production Distinctive Originals Sealed in their Clear Plastic Packaging
NOTE!!! I am the Original Owner, in 1997 I collected these International Bears while living in Downers Grove, Illinois a suburb adjoining Oak brook ( the home of Ty and Mc Donalds ) when the Mc Donalds promo was first started. and they have remained sealed and stored ever since.
Though the probability of them having, all or many of, the Most Valuable Errors associated with them is quite high, at that time I believed, and still do, that Long Term a sealed collection would be more valuable than with opened versions, and kept this collection sealed in their clear plastic Packaging accordingly. Opening them is up to you!
NOTE!!! Sadly, resulting from Bonanzas number of Photo limitations. Not all of the Pictures for each Bear are being Displayed. Please Message me for any that are needed ( Serious Investors ONLY! )
