Ty Beanie Baby Smarter Owl Graduation 2002 Retired Mint Plush With Tag

Welcome to our family’s little corner of eBay!

We're based in Virginia Beach, VA, where we enjoy lovingly curating gifts and treasures—from nostalgic classics to modern collectibles—that deserve a second life. Every item you see was hand-picked by our family, inspected for quality, and is ready for its next adventure. We’re an average family that loves the "treasure hunt" as much as you do, and we'd love for you to join our journey and help us support our local community.

HONEST CONDITION NOTE: Tag Crease

At The Awesome Mystery Box Store, we believe in 100% transparency. While the Smarter the Owl plush is in beautiful, display-ready condition, his original red Ty heart hang tag has a significant horizontal crease running through the center (please see photos for a close-up). He is priced accordingly—making him the perfect choice for a gift where the "cuddliness" matters more than tag perfection!

The Treasure Details

• Class of 2002 Mascot: Smarter is the perfect commemorative piece for the 2002 graduate or anyone celebrating a 2002 birth year!
• Premium Texture: Unlike standard Beanies, Smarter features a high-pile "shaggy" fur that gives him a wise, feathered look.
• Graduation Gear: Comes complete with his original black felt mortarboard cap, white "Class of 2002" embroidery, and a golden-yellow tassel.
• Collector Accents: Features the 2002 holographic silver tush tag and original black bow tie.
• Authenticity: Genuine Ty Inc. product filled with P.E. Pellets.

Perfect For:

• Nostalgic Gifts: A sweet "congrats" gift for a teacher or a keepsake for a Class of 2002 alumni.
• Nursery Decor: Owls are a timeless theme for libraries and study spaces.

Condition Report (Honest & Personal)

Outside of the tag crease mentioned above, Smarter is in Excellent condition. His fur is soft, clean, and free of any "play wear" or odors. The black cap is still securely attached and the embroidery is crisp. He has been stored in a smoke-free, climate-controlled home here in Virginia Beach. He’s ready to bring a little wisdom (and a lot of 2000s nostalgia) to his new home!

Our family has thoroughly inspected and sanitized the exterior of this plush to ensure it arrives ready for your collection. Thank you for choosing our store!
