Beans! & Bears by H&S Media (Magazine, Hobbies, Collectibles, 1999, Beanie Babies, 90s collectibles, toy magazine, teddy bears, H&S Media)

This is the June 1999 issue of "Beans! & Bears" magazine, a publication for collectors of Beanie Babies, teddy bears, and other plush collectibles. It features articles on Beanie trading cards, spotting fakes, and the Boyds Bears company.

Review:
A perfect time capsule of the Beanie Baby and plush collectible craze of the late 1990s. The magazine captures the speculative frenzy of the era, with articles on price guides, spotting fakes, and the rise of collector culture.

Author summary:
"Beans! & Bears" was one of several magazines that sprang up in the late 1990s to cater to the massive and obsessive fan base of Ty Beanie Babies and other collectible plush toys like Boyds Bears.

The collectible value is very low, with high ironic and nostalgic appeal. As a magazine dedicated to the plush toy bubble, it has significant historical interest but no rarity. Its value is as a curious artifact of 1990s pop culture.
