Read on to find out about the different tags.

Your Title First Generation Tags The First generation tags were placed on the 9 oringinal beanies in 1993 and 1994. These tags do not open like a book. They also do not have a yellow star on them. The ty is in skinny bubble letters. On the other side you will find the beanies name and poem. Because a lot of the first generation tags were taken off, the first generation tag is worth more.

Your Title Second Generation Tags The Second generation Tags were made in the year 1994 and 1995. These on the outside look exactly like the first generation tag but unlike the first generation tag these do open up like a book. Inside, the right side has a To/From setup.
