When Warner changed the name, he also made minor adjustments to the plushie.
“While original Tabasco has red hooves, Snort’s hooves are white. So, even though the update would fetch you a little over $55,000, finding the original Tabasco can earn you way more.”

- Popularity: Certain characters or designs that resonate more with collectors can drive up demand and value.
- Historical Significance: Some Beanie Babies are tied to specific events or causes, like the Princess Diana Bear, which adds to their allure
