This Thanksgiving Beanie Baby was released in 1996 which was well before I had ever heard about them. . . yet I was able to buy one at retail many years later. I'm not sure when it was retired but I would guess after 1998 at least if not a few years later.
I think this Beanie is adorable. It was totally mass-produced, though, so you can find it on eBay for just $2.95 plus shipping. There are others asking $5000 for their version (probably with a misspelling error on the tag) but I can't believe that anyone would pay that much for that type of thing these days.
I will put Gobbles on my shelf when Thanksgiving rolls around. So cute!

He doesn't have to worry about you pulling his drumstick.

People who are collectors will pay anything for an item they don't have in their collection!
