There is a lot of false information surrounding Valentino, mainly regarding clickbait articles that try to say he is worth extortionate prices. Firstly, all Valentino bears have a brown nose. Tag errors add nothing towards its value as these errors were mass produced in the millions. The only Valentino bears that are worth more than a few dollars are Beanies with a 2nd or 3rd generation swing tag, the former being worth the most.
Item Special Note
Ken and Phyllis Hoy have owned this collection of Beanie Babies since they were released in stores during the 90's and early 2000's. They have been stored safely since they were purchased, with plastic tag covers protecting each of the TY heart tags, so they are in 100% like-new condition.
