Ty Inc. introduced the Attic Treasures Collection in 1993, this was before Ty Beanies Babies were available. The Ty Attic Treasures are a separate product line from the Ty Beanie Babies. Ty discontinued the entire Attic Treasure line in 2002 – he doesn’t manufacturer Attics Treasures anymore, the remaining styles were retired on December 27, 2002.

Initially the Attic Treasures were all jointed with movable arms, legs and head. However, some of the later styles were not jointed and were a very close resemblance to Beanie Babies. Attic Treasures were made with different materials than Beanies – some only sporting a ribbon around their neck, some were clothed, wore hats or had bows in their hair, and a lot had no clothes at all!

Even though Attics have red Ty Heart tags, their tag generations are different than the Beanie Babies. There are 7 generations of hang tags (with variations), and many different variations of tush tags!

On the 1^st,  2^nd and 3^rd  generation hang tags it says, “The Attic Treasures Collection”. However, on some of the 2^nd gen Attic hang tags, a mistake was made, and some will say “The Beanie Babies Collections” – this was a printing error.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inside the 4^th, 5^th, 6^th & 7th gen tags it says, “Ty Collectibles”. Some 6^th gen tags also came with “The Attic Treasures Collection” inside the tag. The difference between the 5^th and 6^th gen tags is – the 6^th gen tag has Comic Sans font on the inside and the style number to the right of the name was removed.

A Rare Attic – Tyra with Pom-Poms

Tyra, the cheerleader, was initially introduced in the Fall of 1999. These first edition Tyra’s had pom-poms attached to their hands. They were reported to be a choking hazard to children and were never supposed to leave the Ty warehouse. Apparently, several leaked out, but exact numbers are not known (These allegedly were said to be stolen from Canada). This is one of the most sought-after Attic’s.

Attic Treasures with 1^st (especially the original 12) and 2^nd generation hang tags are the ones that usually fetch the highest dollar. eBay is the best source to check on the values of Attic Treasures. Click here to see How to Search Completed and Sold Listings On eBay for current selling prices.
