Authentication Process
What happens to my Beanie™ when I send it to
True Blue Beans?
When your package is received at True Blue Beans, a cross check is completed to ensure that the Beanies™ received match the Submission Form. Each Beanie™ is then assigned an individual Certificate Of Authenticity number, and entered into ourdatabase.
The Swing Tag, also known and the Hang Tag or Paper Tag, is of equal importance and is checked for the following:
- Overall Condition
- Color
- Font
- Generation
- Gold Trim
- Hole Punch
- Paper
- Weight
- Punctuation
- Size
- Style Number
- Errors
The Tush tag, also known as the Sewn In or Fabric Tag is examed for the following
- Overall condition
- Fabric
- Stitching
- Eyes
- Nose
- Weight
- Date
- And much more!
Tag Generations Have A Direct Impact On The Value Of Your Beanie Babies!
Once a Beanie™ is determined to be authentic, a tag protector is placed on the swing tag, and the Beanie™ is brushed to remove any lint. It is then placed in an acid-free, clear acrylic case, and is ULTRA SONICALLY SEALED using the DuKane UltraSonics Welding Machine.
An embossed (True Blue Beans) Certificate Of Authenticity includes the authentication date, Beanie™ name, swing and tush tag generation, style number and comments if applicable.
The Beanie™ is then carefully prepared for shipping, and returned to the sender via UPS unless otherwise directed.
