What can change Spot the Dog's value

  • Tag generation. Mint with both tags commands the premium, and an earlier swing-tag generation moves price more than condition does.
  • Condition. Creases, stains, tag protectors and smoke exposure all show up in what buyers pay.
  • Exact version. Pellet type, country of manufacture and renames make same-name toys different products at different prices.
  • Listing quality. Most "error" listings describe common tag misprints that carry no premium; read titles skeptically.

About these prices

Values are based on completed eBay sales matched to this toy, not current asking prices.

How we calculate prices

Included: Completed eBay sales matched to the toy and style number.

Excluded: Automated matching removes identifiable lots, cards, other Ty lines, reissues, and mismatched toys. Duplicate listings are collapsed. Some variation in condition or tag generation may remain.

How value is calculated: The headline value is the median sale price, weighted by units sold, with no outlier trimming. The observed range may include different conditions and tag generations.
