Ty beanie baby Spunky with unusual error

Hi guys.
I found this TY beanie baby and he is missing the last line of the poem on the swing tag.
I have searched the internet and can't find another Spunky with this error.
Does this make him more valuable?
Thanks for always helping this newbie.
Regards.

On the one hand, all Beanie Babies with errors are moderately more valuable than their standard counterparts, but the scarcity of a Beanie and its quality are much more significant. This guy has the later PE pellets, rather than PVC, which makes him a release from after BBs got popular. Additionally, he’s not a limited release. Mint PVC versions of the original 8, rarer colourways and designs (elephants, bears) still do well, but otherwise you’re looking at a value of $/£20. Stick him on eBay, someone will love him! I could never resist a Squealer the pig myself!

 

I've been taking a dive into these plush toys and another brand called Russ Berrie after a $1 turned into a $56 sale on eBay. You are correct about the errors, just like in other collectible items, the mistakes drive up the prices. From what I gather, the main thing you are looking for are print errors on the swing tag (ear) and tush tag (bottom). In my limited searches I have not seen one with the entire line of the poem missing. I have only seen typos, or smaller bits of omitted info but not a whole line of text.

Take your time and think it over. You can always use a reserve price for a small .35c fee on eBay to test the market. I'm not an expert but I have seen prices in hundreds and a few in the thousands just because it has typos. I just picked up 6 of these for $5 each with the tags and one of them is looking like it might be a $1k. Do your homework. Good luck!

Realized this post is from 5 months ago. I just did a search looking for Beanie Babies info. Did you get a bunch of money?
