 Remember when we all thought our beanie babies were going to make us rich? Yeah, well we really should have been buying these instead. A Pokemon card recently sold for a whopping $500,000 on eBay, while the most sought after beanie baby is only estimated to be worth about $8,000. Most are worth less than $20. So why aren't your beanie babies worth a fortune? Well, in 1999 it was announced that beanies were going to go out of production. Then they said psych, but at that point the market flooded and people stopped caring. Meanwhile, Pokemon continues to skyrocket in popularity worldwide. Just last year over 10 billion Pokemon cards were produced. And in 2021 the most expensive Pokemon card purchase happened when Logan Paul paid $5 million for a rare Pikachu card. So if you have a stash of old Pokemon cards somewhere, it might be worth getting them appraised.
