It‘s just utterly fascinating that people looked at cheap, mass-produced bean bag animals as a long-term investment?! I mean really. But who didn‘t know someone circa 1998 (my aunt) that owned tag protectors. 🤷🏻♀️
And Ty Warner is a fascinating person. He‘s full of sorrow, yet completely cunning. Really interesting #audiobook! 4⭐️
I agree with some other reviews that this was quite dry in places but I still found it fascinating! Here‘s Teddy with one of his Ty Beanie Boos 😊
A couple of weeks ago my little boy found this “sammy” beanie baby at a car boot sale and fell in love. The lady kindly gave it to him for free and he promptly tore the Ty heart label off and gave it a big cuddle. Even now my instinct was to say “no don‘t tear off the tag!!!” 😄 I‘m enjoying listening to the tagged book and hearing just how much craziness there was around Sammy and his friends! And what went into his design!
It‘s #Easy to see why people wanted #TheMostToys from Ty. They thought collecting stuffed animals would make them overnight millionaires. (Uh, the ‘90s were weird. 🤩🤪)
This is still on my #TBR, but I‘ll get to it. #StarTrekSummerMay #MayMovieMagic #Audible #audiobook
Thanks to a previous post by @L_auren I fulfilled my final prompt for #NonFiction2019 🎉❣️🙌🏻 This is the story of Ty Warner, an eccentric toy developer who turned a passion for plush novelty toys into a billion dollar collectible frenzy. In the course of 4 years he saw his $5 beanie babies selling in the upwards of $5000. 3 🌟for book content, 5 🌟for fun memories. I read so many great books, thanks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa
Almost done! Sun is shining today and nothing is gonna burst my happy bubble☀️🌴🍹Reading this book about the biggest marketing scam to ever hit suburbia... my mom actually thought collecting these $5 bean bag dolls were going to put her 16 grandchildren through college 🙄book is a little dry at times but still a fascinating read.
Pre-birthday splurge! 📚🎂🎉 Thanks to @L_auren and @Cinfhen for the rec on the tagged book! I can‘t wait to start.
Everyone is raving about Daisy Jones, so I splurged on that, too! (Six month wait at the library 😱) I loved 7 Husbands.
