•  It is usually attached to the toy ears with a plastic fastener. 
• Variations among tags depend of the generation or edition, year release of the toy, and the country of manufacture. 
• The original Hash tags resemble the one presented on the previous post, which is one sided heart. The example show corresponds to later double tags or book-like tags, in this case a special collection of the Attic Treasures. This tag has the Ty logo on the first side, the info about this teddy, e.g., name and TY inc TM property authenticity. And, on the back of the second side the bar code.
• Some of the bean animals or TY toys were released in different years and are mostly differentiated sometime because of minor changes in form, and sometimes by the tag.
• The value of the toy in many instances depends of the edition and condition of the Hang Tag=Heart tag. Thus pay attention to its presence, readability, shape, and consistency with the proper original tag edition. I have not yet seen any fake TY toy, yet apparently during the boom of the TY first release some counter fit toys were released into the market. Thus be careful if you are a collector.
•  TY_2: Attic collection, blue teddy bear Azure the bear has a 2 side heart. This particular toy is in great condition, yet the heart tag was at some point bend. In this cases, the value of the toy also depends on its availability on the market.
