POEM
His name is Nipper, but we call him Nip
His best friend is a black cat named Zip
Nip likes to run in races for fun
He runs so fast he's always number one!
The REAL Nip has a pink nose and a golden rim
around the eyes along with white whiskers.
The FAKE Nip has solid black eyes, NO pink nose, instead it is
black, and NO whiskers. The ears are also rounded and shorter.
REAL NIP TAG
4th generation tag Tag on FAKE NIP
I will admit that the tag is a 5th generation
tag and is pretty good. The print may be off centered a bit but
other than that it looks pretty good.
4th Generation real NIP tag / 5th generation
Tag on FAKE Nip
The plastic fastener on the fake Nip is clear.
Not in all cases is a clear fastener an indication of a fake Beanie.
Although most of Ty Beanies are manufactured with red fasteners,
they have used clear fasteners in the manufacturing of some of
their products. The proof of this fake Beanie lies in the Beanie
itself.
