Carl (prisoner) Beanie Baby resale value

Carl (prisoner) is a Ty Beanie Baby. Value depends on condition and — most of all — the hang tag: mint with mint tag beats tagless by a wide margin, and tag generation (1st–5th gen) changes the price on many beanies. Check the tag heart for creases and the tush tag for the generation marker.

Prices shown here come from live eBay listings when available; sold-comps medians appear once enough real closed sales are tracked.
