Roam--- 1998 --- No Style Number --- 1 of a Kind --- Distinctive Limited Production Invaluable Factory Oddities / Unique features --- Multiple Tag Errors ---New --- Iconic Original -- MwmtMq Without an Existing Identical listing it to compare it to: Knowing that exclusivity and uniqueness of a limited stock item always attach a premium to its value And that Beanie Babies with errors can be much more valuable than ones with perfectly printed tags. According To Microsoft's A.I. Roam the Buffalo might look like just another Beanie Baby grazing in the plush pasture, but for collectors like you, it’s got some serious hidden value. Here's what makes Ty Roam a standout: Key Features That Boost Roam’s Value • Short Production Window: Released on September 30, 1998 and retired by December 23, 1998, Roam had a very limited run. • Unique Design: Roam features a dark brown body, cream-colored horns, and a wooly textured mane—details that set it apart from other Beanies. • Poetic Hang Tag: The poem emphasizes Roam’s rarity: “So rare and special is this guy / Find him quickly, he’s quite a buy!”—Ty wasn’t subtle about this one. • Tag Generations: Roam typically comes with a 5th generation hang tag and 6th generation tush tag, but rare versions may include tag errors or Korean market indicators like the “1965(KR)” stamp. • Tag Errors Quirks: Some Roams have: • “Fareham, Hants” Origins listed instead of “Gosport, Hampshire” • Red star on the tush tag • Ruffled fur (a limited production trait) • Watermark Production Stamp inside the tush tag, indicating Chinese factory origin Market Value Insights If you’ve got one with those quirks, especially the Korean market stamp or tag errors, you might be sitting on a buffalo-sized treasure These factors create a sense of rarity and exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market.
