THE #1 (VERY FIRST) PRINCESS BEANIE BABY BEAR EDITIONSHOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE FOLLOWING DETAILS* Beautiful Royal Purple Polyester lush & plush fur with matching Purple Ribbon.
* Bright Green Stem White Rose
* Red & White PVC Tush Tag with Red Star
IMPORTANT: PVC pellets were the first pellets! They were replaced with PE pellets. Verified through Ty & Wikipedia. Therefore the PVC Tush Tags were created first & were the first Princess Beanie Babies made. Sellers with PE tush tags are incorrect. DO NOT BE MISLED. Please read the Princess Beanie History below for all the correct information on every detail including photo proof.
* Made In China indicated on the Swing Tag
* Size 9" ~ Top of the ears to bottom of feet
* Retired December 1997 ~ That's Correct...
* Extremely Limited Edition ~ The China PVC issue is the very first Princess Beanie Edition. Not like the several hundred PE 5th Editions as seen today on the Internet & eBay claiming to be the First Edition.
* Minty Mint Condition For Top Dollar Investment
MESSAGE INSIDE SWING TAGLike an angel, she came from heaven above
She shared her compassion, her pain, her love
She only stayed with us long enough to teach
The world to share, to give, to reach.PRINCESS DIANA BEANIE BABY BEAR HISTORY
THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH & NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
TY© PRINCESS BEANIE BABY BEARS®* Ty Beanie Baby 'Princess' the bear was announced on October 1997 & issued in December 1997 as a charity release for the Princess Diana of Wales Memorial Fund. All of Ty Inc's profits from the bear were donated to the fund. The Princess Beanie Baby was retired on April 13, 1999.
PVC PELLETS VS PE PELLETS* The pellet issue helps to define which came first. P.V.C. stands for Polyvinylchloride & P.E. stands for Polyethylene. Ty stopped using PVC pellets in favor of using PE pellets as these were considered to be more environmentally friendly. Beanies with PVC pellets tend to be more rare & therefore more valuable. Know the facts, you can verify this in Wikipedia on the Internet.
BRIGHT GREEN STEM VS PALE GREEN STEM* The bright green stems are on the first two editions. The pale green stems are on the later editions of the Princess Beanie Babies.
FIVE EDITIONS WERE RELEASED IN THIS ORDER* The edition PICs are a historical timeline reference...
* #1 FIRST EDITION SWING TAG & CHINA PVC TUSH TAG RETIRED 1997In December 1997 the PE pellets replaced the PVC pellets. The second edition PE Tush Tag was created. The PVC Tush Tag came first & the PE Tush Tag came second. The Beanie Vendors received both PVC & PE bears for sale at the same time in January 1998. Ty knew that the PVC Princess Beanie Bear was so rare that they only allowed one PVC Bear 1st Edition to be included with eleven PE Bear 2nd Editions for each Beanie Vendor to sell. That's why there are so many PE Bears for sale & only a handful of PVC Bears for investment.
* #2 SECOND EDITION SWING TAG & CHINA PE TUSH TAGRETIRED 1998
* #3 THIRD EDITION SWING TAG & INDONESIA PVC TUSH TAGRETIRED 1998
* #4 FOURTH EDITION SWING TAG & INDONESIA PE TUSH TAGRETIRED 1998Top of PE Tush Tag says Handmade In Indonesia.
* #5 FIFTH EDITION SWING TAG & CHINA PE TUSH TAGRETIRED 1999The Swing Tag on the right side has a double space above Diana, Princess Of Wales Memorial Fund. This double space appears on all Fifth Editions. The Fifth Edition was the issue that was mass produced. Many of the 5th Editions Tush Tags contain an oval & number stamped in red or pink on the inside of the loop. There were several different numbers denoting different assembly lines or factories where that Beanie Baby was made. Seems like several hundred of these 5th Editions ended up on the Internet & eBay claiming to be the first edition because they did zero historical research.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE* All Princess Beanie Baby Swing Tags are the same front & back.
* All Princess Beanie Baby Tush Tags are 1997. The year on the tush tag is the copyright year for that specific design of the Tush Tag not the production.
PRINCESS BEANIE BEAR BUDDY SWING TAG* Only the Princess Beanie Bear Buddy has the official Diana charity emblem or logo on the inside of the Swing Tag, all the Princess Beanie Baby Swing Tags do not.
