2. Condition and Errors: The value of Tuffy, like many Beanie Babies, can significantly increase if it is in mint condition with its original tags. Additionally, errors on the tags, such as misspellings or incorrect information, can make it even more valuable

3. Collector Demand: Beanie Babies have a dedicated collector base. Specific characters, especially those with unique features or errors, are highly sought after

4. Nostalgia: Many collectors are driven by nostalgia, remembering the Beanie Baby craze of the 1990s. This emotional connection can drive up the value of certain Beanie Babies, including Tuffy
