This is really an excellent book, and I don't think anthropologists will care about my beanie baby collection. Really! No one can really expect to get a book with "current" values for beanies--but this book is excellent to use as a checklist. I like to keep all my beanies catalogued and this book provides a wonderful way to do that. The Winter 2000 Edition Value Guide is colorful and has a picture of every beanie and buddy along with most variations. And if Ty Company is going to retire all and make no more after this year, this book makes an excellent checklist of all beanies ever made. Let's take into consideration what is going on here, people. Beanies are fun and a pasttime. I love the book because I can keep my large collection catalogued in one place. Isn't that really what these kind of books are for? Go to the internet for more current values if you have to, but don't try to build a great beanie collection without this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, April 15, 2000

This review is from: Ty Beanie Babies Winter 2000 Collector's Value Guide (Collector's Value Guide Ty Beanie Babies) (Paperback)

I've just started collecting beanies since Dec. 99. Having no clue as to who was who of the beanie animals, this book gives me a great starting point. It has all the info on beanie B-days, retirements, and most importantly what is a reasonable price to pay for them.I'm not looking to re-sell them to make money but I don't want to go over board on my spending for beanies at the same time. Of course its not up to date as far as new Ty products, but I don't need that info immediately as I'm just starting out. It also gives info on tag generations and tush tags which is most helpful to me. The bottom line is, if you are new to collecting Beanies, get at least one of the Checkerbee series for reference. It helped me tremendously.

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative, easy to follow guide., October 22, 1999

This book is of great value to the collector. It is easy to follow and offers answers to adult and child collectors. The photographs are beautifully done. Collectors will appreciate this concise and accurate guide. Collecting anything may be regarded by the non-collector to be odd, but for the collector, it is simply an innocuous hobby that gives one pleasure. Certainly, collecting Beanie Babies is innocent enough fun! This book will help you value your collection and inform you of what's available to add to it.
