NOTE!! Yesterday Wise the Owl was featured at number 20 on the 125 Most Valuable Beanie Babies with the following Bottom Line:  Wise the graduation owl was wildly popular as a gift for high school and college grads. Perhaps the push to release him before the end of the school year hit was part of the reason for the multitude of errors

But that was yesterday and Yesterday is GONE!!  Today, On the 21 Most Valuable Beanie Babies Of All Time (Ranking) (luxe.digital)  Wise is featured at Number 2 with the following Bottom Line: " Soaring to the top of its class, this plush scholar is ready to share its wisdom with the world. Wise the Owl Beanie Baby is a celebration of a job well done, marking the graduation ceremony at the end of an educational endeavor. Wise’s appeal now goes far beyond a nostalgic reminder of hard work. It’s one of the most valuable Beanie Babies that’s currently spiking in demand. The exact value might change like an owl in flight, but around $122,000 is not unthinkable for the rarest examples" .

Without an Existing Identical Listing to compare it to according to Microsoft's A.I .Ty Wise, the Owl, is valuable for several reasons:

1. Rarity: Wise was only produced from May 1997 to December 1998, making it a limited edition

2. Theme: As a graduation-themed Beanie Baby with the words "Class of '98" embroidered on its hat, it has a special appeal

3. Tag Errors: Some Wise Beanie Babies have tag errors, such as misspellings or incorrect dates, which are highly prized by collectors

4. Condition: Beanie Babies in mint condition, especially those with original tags, are worth significantly more

5. Demand: The nostalgia factor and the ongoing demand for rare Beanie Babies keep the value high

These factors create a sense of rarity and exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market. Making this Mint Most Valuable Iconic Original Wise Limited Production with an Exclusive Production Stamp, Multiple Tag Rarities, and Invaluable Pristine Tush tag a Serious Collectors Item whose Future Selling Price  will only continue to Rise
