Your old Care Bears could be worth over $10k

*Checking the toy cupboard RIGHT now* - by Amy Sinclair
  • 25 Jun 2019

Who didn’t love Care Bears growing up?

With their rainbow colours and different designs on their tummies, the soft and cuddly teddy bears were the ultimate collectable back in the 1980s.

Your old Care Bears could be worth over $10k

Well if you’ve managed to hang on to your Care Bears collection from when you were a child, it could be time to celebrate. 

With vintage Care Bears now considered a classic, serious toy collectors are now paying huge dollars for cult 80s teddies. 

In fact some collections have sold for more than $10,000 - with other single Care Bears fetching hundreds and hundreds of dollars. 

And websites such as Doopydoo’s and Care Bear Collectors has even been set up to manage and sell people’s collections - that’s serious business!

So what are the most valuable Care Bears?

Top of the list is the super rare Nobleheart Horse Care Bears Cousin - a highly-coveted vintage piece which can fetch around the $800 mark.

Also in demand is the Proudheart Cat Care Bear Cousin, which is worth more than $500.

The Surprise Care Bear - in the pale blue colour - is also in high demand, with its soft blue fur and jack-in-the-box motif on the front.  The 1984 Goodluck Care Bear - with a four-leaf clover on the front - is also sought after by collectors.

And if you have a Surprise Care Bear ...

... or the Goodluck Care Bear in your old toy stash, then they could land you big money!

Of course Care Bears in their original boxes receive more money, as do ones that are clean and with no damage. So what are you waiting for?! Search your toy cupboard - and then hit up eBay, Doopydoo’s or Care Bear Collectors. Good luck!
