I bought Princess in memory of my best friend who lost her battle with cancer around the same time Princess Diana died. I have hung on to it over the decades because of sentimental value. Now our babies are grown & I have college tuition & bills to pay. There\'s a ton of information available regarding the Princess beanie baby. The only documented evidence of a 1st edition/version that is available specifically refers to the swing tag and country of manufacture. There is no documented evidence as to which tush tag came first, specifically p.v.c. Versus p.e. Pellets. Thus which came 1st is only a matter of opinion. My Princess beanie baby was purchased by me when they were first released for sale. It has the 1st edition/version swing tag. It has the P. E. Tush tag, which cannot be proved or disproved as 1st edition. If my Princess is not the one you are looking for, as I have accurately photographed and described according to information acquired through hours of research, then please do not purchase it. From the Ty Collector Website:In reference to the swing tag:Princess swing tags are often referred to by collectors as \"space\" or \"no-space\". This is a reference to the last 4 lines of text on the right inside of the swing tag. The \"no-space\" swing tag was attached to Princess bears produced in China during the first production period and also for some of the production in Indonesia. A \"first edition\" Princess MUST have the \"no-space\" swing tag attached. Thus, a \"first version\" of Princess swing tag does NOT have a line space above \"DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES\". Additionally, the left side of the tag states \"Handmade in China\". This is refered to as ST #1.In reference to the tush tag:The tush tag of a Princess with the \"no-space\" swing tag can show it is made from either P.V.C. or P.E. pellets. Thus far, it has not been credibly \"proven\" which version of the tush tag was actually attached to the first run of Princess bears produced in a Chinese factory.
