A More Common Flash The Shark is Featured at number 13 on https://www.therichest.com/hobbies/23-beanie-babies-worth-an-absolute-fortune-today/ with the following Bottom Line : "By now, if you threw all your Beanie Babies away that you collected in the '90s, you might regret it. How dare you toss them away in the bin? Every Beanie is so adorable, it is hard to believe you'd not want to keep them around, like Flash the Shark. Now, that is a complete throwback; Flash the Shark is part of the original nine Beanie Babies, so if you were around in the early '90s, you may unknowingly own one. This Baby could go for $1,500 if you're interested in getting rid of it." Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to: Know that according to Microsoft's A.I. Beanie Babies can be surprisingly valuable due to several factors: Limited Production: Many Beanie Babies were produced in limited quantities, making them rare and highly sought after. Tag Errors and Misprints: Beanie Babies with errors on their tags or unique misprints can be particularly valuable. Retirement: When a Beanie Baby is “retired” (no longer produced), its value often increases due to scarcity. Special Editions: Beanie Babies released for special events or as prototypes can fetch high prices. Condition: Beanie Babies in pristine condition with their original tags intact are more valuable. These factors create a sense of rarity and exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market Making this Mint Most Valuable Limited Production PVC 1st Edition Flash with Multiple Tag Rarities a Serious Collectors Item whose Future Selling Price will only continue to Rise!
