Beanie Baby expert here. I even own a Beanie Baby collector guide from 1997. The Beanie Babies that hold great value are the early generation ones (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation). The easy way to tell if a Beanie Baby is part of these generations is the hang tag on the ear. The hang tag will simply only have "TY" on it .

Unfortunately, as an expert, I would deem this particular Beanie Baby as "not highly valuable", as it is not part of the early generations of Beani (plural of Beanies). In fact, this particular bear is the *second* version of its kind. The original version of this bear was named "Garcia". TY was sued by Jerry Garcia's estate (known from the band Grateful Dead) for using Jerry Garcia's Grateful Dead image with a tie-dye bear named "Garcia". Seeing as this bear is a "newer" generation, and not the original Garcia bear, I would confidently appraise this to be worth ~$8 USD (not including shipping).
