In the Summer of 1999, Clubby II membership kits
started to appear and had an added bonus for Beanie Baby Trading
card collectors. In each kit was a pack of Platinum Edition Collector's
cards. Each pack contained 3 cards with a total of 15 in the set.
All cards are stated to be of equal distribution. There are three
types of card:
- Limited Edition
- Vertically Named
- Horizontally Named
All cards have a common side which is blue and contains a large
emblem that says "Platinum Edition Collector's Cards". Also
included in the membership kits was 1 of 9 collector's coins.
Each one contained an Original 9 Beanie. However, after a considerable
time there were reports about additional coins showing up, and
also coins of different colors. Unfortunately no additional
cards. appeared.
Limited Edition
The Limited edition cards have "LIMITED EDITION" printed on the
top of the card and the name of the Beanie across the Center.
Cards include Signature, Bronty, Legs, Millenium and Steg. All
card also have the BBOC logo and a picture of the Beanie. As stated
before, these cards are not limited editions, nor are they any
rarer than the other Platinum cards.
Vertically Named
These cards have the name written down the left side of the card.
The cards include Beak, Echo, Goldie, Jabber and Rex. Interestingly
Echo and Rex do not have the BBOC logo whereas all of the other
cards do.
Horizontally
Named
These cards have the name of the Beanie printed along the bottom
of the cards. They include Bessie, Clubby, Peanut, Princess and
Quackers. All these cards sport the BBOC logo.
