Ty Luke, also known as Luke the Dog, is a popular Beanie Baby from the late 1990s. Here are a few reasons why it's considered valuable: Rarity: Luke was retired relatively quickly in December 1999, which makes it less common compared to some other Beanie Babies that were produced for longer periods. Tag Errors: Some versions of Luke have tag errors, such as incorrect birthday dates or production dates, which can make them particularly sought after by collectors. Popularity: Luke was part of various sports promotions, including with the Texas Rangers, which added to its appeal and collectability. Condition: Beanie Babies in mint condition, especially those still with their original tags, are more valuable. These factors create a sense of rarity and exclusivity, driving up demand and prices in the collector’s market.
