Arizona Cardinals Bear Appraisal

Arizona Cardinals Ty Beanie Baby Bear

This is a Ty Beanie Baby limited edition plush bear representing the Arizona Cardinals NFL team. The bear features a white plush upper torso and head, with red plush arms and legs, and black fabric paws on its feet. The chest features an embroidered Arizona Cardinals team logo in red, black, and yellow. It has small black plastic bead eyes and a black plastic nose. The bear is housed in a clear acrylic protective display case, which has helped maintain its condition. Attached to the ear is the characteristic heart-shaped Ty swing tag, although it appears slightly bent within the casing. The fabric appears clean with no visible staining, shedding, or discoloration. Based on the style and licensing, this item likely dates between the late 1990s and early 2000s when Ty produced several sports-themed promotional bears. The stitching appears consistent with factory mass production of that era. The protective case shows some light surface scuffing but remains clear. No visible tush tag is seen from this angle, but it is expected to be present on the rear of the bear.
