Knowing that exclusivity and uniqueness of a limited stock item always attach a premium to its value. And that Beanie Babies with errors can be much more valuable than ones with perfectly printed tags. According to Microsoft's A.I. The TY 1^st /Orange 3rd Gen Digger and the Ty One-of-a-Kind Red Digger Set are highly valuable due to a combination of rarity, historical significance, and unique production features. Here's a breakdown of what makes each so special:

TY 1st Gen Tush / Orange 3rd Gen Hang Tag Digger

This version of Digger the Crab is considered one of the rarest Beanie Babies ever produced.

 Key Value Factors:

• First Release Color: The orange Digger was the original version released in 1994. It was retired in 1995 and replaced by the red version, making the orange variant much harder to find.
• Tag Combination: The most valuable specimens feature a 1st generation tush tag and a 3rd generation swing tag, a pairing that reflects early production and limited distribution.
• Collector Demand: This version is highly sought after by serious collectors due to its layered rarity and early production quirks.

Ty One-of-a-Kind Red Digger Set

This set is even more exclusive, often considered a grail item for elite collectors.

 What Makes It “One-of-a-Kind”:

• Unique Production: These sets typically feature prototype elements, such as unusual fabric, stitching, or tag errors that never made it to mass production.
• Custom or Artist Proofs: Some may be authenticated as artist proofs or factory samples, which were never sold to the public.
• Historical Significance: Being a one-of-a-kind item, it represents a piece of Ty’s internal development history, making it invaluable to collectors who specialize in prototypes or unreleased designs.
• Emotional and Display Value: These sets often come with documentation or provenance, adding to their mystique and display appeal.
