Ty Beanie Babies Official Club Membership Kit from 1998

Ty Beanie Babies Official Club Membership Kit from 1998, featuring "Clubby" the bear. This kit includes a membership card, official checklist, newsletter, and a certificate offer. The kit was available exclusively to members of the Beanie Babies Official Club. The gold membership card, included in the kit, allowed access to the club's website for special member-only content. Clubby, the royal blue bear, was the exclusive Beanie Baby for the club members in 1998. There are different versions of Clubby, with variations in the tush tag numbers (00, 01, 02, and 03). The "00" version is considered more valuable and was intended for store displays. Clubby bears with the "01" tag often have a typo in the poem on the swing tag, which can also add to their collectibility. The craze for Beanie Babies peaked in the late 1990s, with some rare versions fetching high prices on the secondary market.
