All those Beanie Babies I can honestly say that the dumbest investment I ever made was collecting Beanie Babies. I would get up early to be first in line to get that long awaited bear or dog, cat or any other critter. I placed a lot of telephone orders when I could not find that special Beanie. I even subscribed to a magazine to keep me informed of all the latest happenings. The stories of how valuable they would be in 2008 proved untrue. I ate a lot of McDonalds food just to get the little Beanie Babies with their logo. Posters, trading cards. I even purchased a china cabinet to display everything in it. I started collecting Coca Cola Beanies. You would not believe how many I have stored. Needless to say, my collecting days are over. I drove a lot of miles, wasted time and spent money. I guess it was fun. And I know that I wasn’t the only one to learn a valuable lesson. Louise Freeman, Elkin, Surry-Yadkin EMC |
