The Ty Beanie Baby “Digger the Crab” is particularly valuable due to several factors:

  1. Rarity: The original orange version of Digger, released on June 25, 1994, is the most sought after. This version was retired on June 3, 1995, making it harder to find
  2. Condition: Collectors highly value Beanie Babies in pristine or mint condition, especially if they still have their original tags attached
  3. First Generation Tags: The presence of first-generation hang and tush tags significantly increases the value. These tags indicate the toy is from the initial production run
  4. Market Demand: The collectible market for Beanie Babies can be quite volatile, with prices varying widely based on current demand

These factors create a sense of rarity and exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market
