Glory in the Spotlight By Karen BoekerGlory is one of the Beanies being discussed right now because of alleged high sales.  We’re even going to show a few of the boxed McDonald Teenie Beanie sets that allegedly sold.  Let’s take a look.
At first glance it looks like sellers are hitting the jackpot, doesn’t it?  $5,000 Wow! Let’s dig a little deeper.
That 5K sale never happened.  Vigilante bidder or a fake bidder?

Next –Oh my, you mean they don’t really sell for this?  Nope.  Seller relisted.Another one didn’t sell?  Yeah, we’ve been trying to tell you this.Oh wow, another 0 feedback buyer.   How long before this new ID is suspended?

The last 2 high dollar ones:

Surely you jest!!  Another NO sale?

The last one is a little tricky.  It was a private sale with best offer but we have the tools to research bids.   The best offer on this $1999.99 “sold” item was $100.  Item has been relisted.  No feedback exchanged.  If it did sell it’s the highest priced regular Glory by far, but that’s a big IF. There are plenty for sale around $5.The purpose of showing you all this is just to teach that not everything is as it appears. This is how the false information keeps going and going. Seeing the pattern yet? We’ll leave this here because we could show you the same thing over and over and over.

Reality is that Glory is a very common Beanie Baby. Claimed errors really aren’t errors.  We know that people who don’t know the hobby get very upset when they find out the truth.

The rumors regarding Glory, Valentino, Halo, Curly, Peace, Jake, Gobbles, Millennium, Boxed McDonald’s Teenie Beanies, error tags, etc., is purely click bait. If everyone is highlighting the same errors and the same Beanies then just how rare could they possibly be? There ARE rare beanies. It’s just that these are NOT the rare ones. The link shows some rares. Happy Hunting !! Which Ty Beanie is the Rarest!

So what should Glory sell for?  Recent TRUE sales show this: 

As you can clearly see, these prices are a far cry from the thousands of dollars claimed by these articles.

We like to say this. If these lists were accurate every expert in the hobby would be rich and we wouldn’t be answering questions.
