If I remember correctly THAT National was in Chicago. I was looking to pick up a lobster beanie baby for my son. When I saw one I asked the seller the price. He responded it would cost me $2,000. I asked why so high and was told it was a special collector's edition version. I then went to another table (at THAT National an entire section of the floor was devoted to beanie babies) where I saw another lobster one. I asked the price and was told $11. Needless to say it was not a collector's edition, but it was a lobster beanie baby and it sure looked a lot like the one that was priced for $2,000. After buying it I remember walking away wondering if any people would be buying special collector edition beanie babies in the belief they would someday be a good investment.
Brings back a lot of memories, not just of beanie babies but also of pokemon cards. Remember THAT craze?!
