Ty Beanie Baby “Clubby” Bear (1998) – Official Club Edition with Tag & Protector

A standout piece from the golden era of Beanie Baby collecting, this original “Clubby” bear by Ty Inc. was created exclusively for members of the official Ty Beanie Baby Club—making it a distinctive addition to any collection.

Crafted in rich royal blue plush and finished with a multicoloured ribbon, this charming bear features the iconic Ty Club emblem to the chest, symbolising its place within the brand’s most dedicated collector community. The original Ty heart tag remains attached and is preserved within a protective casing, maintaining its crisp, collectible presentation.

Dated July 7, 1998, this piece reflects a time when Beanie Babies were not just toys, but part of a global collecting phenomenon with its own membership culture and exclusivity.

Presented in excellent condition, with vibrant colour, clean fabric, and a well-kept tag, it offers both nostalgic appeal and enhanced desirability.
