Wales Memorial Fund. All of Ty Inc's profits from the bear were donated
to the fund. The Princess Beanie Baby was retired on April 13, 1999. The
bear has no birthday, which is unusual for beanie babies, but not this
one.
BASED UPON THE FACTS ...
PVC PELLET TUSH TAG AND PE PELLET TUSH TAG), ON THE ORIGINAL BEANIE
