The company now plans to let the public vote on whether it should keep producing Beanie Babies in the new year.

Yet everyone would love to have the next Beanie Babies.

"To be up there with Beanie Babies, kids will have to collect them."

Beanie Babies may be "retired" at the end of the year.

In other words, there's still money to be made selling Beanie Babies.

I had only one question: not a single Beanie Baby?

Beanie Babies have nothing to do with baseball and are not even fashioned to a team's desires.

For some holidays, a special Beanie Baby has been produced every year.

Then the collectors came - at one point, more than 6 percent of all sales were for Beanie Babies.

Beanie Babies, still much in demand, appeal to girls from kindergarten to junior high school.
