Demand Level
Moderate. Webkinz maintain a dedicated nostalgic following, but price is capped when the digital code is missing.

Key Features
Recognizable Ganz Webkinz branding; 'W' embroidery on paw; discontinued retired status; popular breed for nostalgic collectors.

Cloth tush tag should present the Ganz and Webkinz logos. Look for the distinct multi-colored 'W' embroidered on the front left paw. High confidence in authenticity based on construction.
Flaws to Note
Missing the original unredeemed Secret Code (swing tag). Minor linting visible on the black fur which is common for this material.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari. These platforms have the highest concentration of plush collectors and specific 'Webkinz No Code' search traffic.
Selling Tips
Market this as a 'Replacement Plush' or 'Tush Tag Only'. Use high-contrast lighting to show the texture of the black fur. Mention it comes from a smoke-free home and ship in a poly mailer to keep costs low for the buyer.
