Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to: Know that according to Microsoft's A.I.

Erin the Bear is one of the more valuable Beanie Babies for several reasons:

1. Limited Release: When Erin was first released in January 1998, Ty dealers were limited to just 12 bears each, which initially drove up its secondary market price

2. Special Design: Erin was designed to honor St. Patrick’s Day and was created for Ronald McDonald Charities Its unique green color and shamrock emblem make it stand out.

3. Historical Significance: The bear’s Tush tag lists 1993 as its date, even though it wasn’t released until 1998 This adds a layer of historical intrigue.

4. Condition and Tags: The value of Erin, like other Beanie Babies, is significantly influenced by its condition and whether it has its original tags. A mint condition Erin with tags can be worth much more than one without.

5. Rarity: Over time, the number of well-preserved Erins has decreased, making those in excellent condition more sought after by collectors.

6. Concluding that  Beanie Babies with Dual Canadian/ US tush tags can be more valuable due to their rarity and the unique labeling requirements they meet. The additional value can vary significantly depending on the specific Beanie Baby and its condition. Generally these Dual -Tagged Beanie Babies can fetch higher prices sometimes 10-50% more value than their Single-Tagged Counterparts. ”

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