Certain rare Beanie Babies are notorious for being valuable, and it should come as no surprise that the Princess Diana one is one of the most coveted toys out there.

And it’s not just Princess Diana bears that sell for a lot—other Beanie Babies have sold for up to $24,000. Of course, often these are rare bears or bears with errors (think typos). Our wise readers have pointed out that many Beanie Babies are practically worthless today. But still, it’s worth checking your collection!
