About this deal

This doll was produced prior to the Cabbage Patch Kid’s company began. Designed and crafted by Xavier Robert’s himself, and hand signed, this doll fetched a high price at auction even with clothes that were queried whether they were originals or not. For those of you who did not grow up in the time of Cabbage Patch Kids, you may have not even heard of them prior to stumbling upon this article. While dolls such as Barbies are recognized globally, what saw the Cabbage Patch Kid stand out against other dolls was their cuddly nature. While the Baby Alive Doll produced around the same time had many interactive features, the simplicity of the Cabbage Patch Kids (CPK) was what little girls during this period were seeking. From lawsuits involving artists of similar disciplines, cross-country riots at toy stores due to shortages, and even a prank by Milwaukeean radio hosts that led locals to believe Cabbage Patch Kids would be air-dropped, Cabbage Patch Kids may not be the biggest hit today, but in the eyes of collectors and those who grew up in the ’80s, the Cabbage Patch Kids certainly left their mark on their memories as well as in history. The Cabbage Patch Dolls were not only an instant hit during the 1980’s but could also be described as a ‘fad’ within this decade. Every second little girl was asking Santa Claus for one in 1983, even so much so that the shopping centers who sold these were crowded with moms trying to get their hands on one in time for Christmas before they sold out.

But by the end of the first decade of their existence 65 million kids have been sold around the world. The place where they are supposedly born, Babyland General Hospital still exists. It was originally located in Cleveland. In 2010 the hospital moved to the North Georgia mountains. It now sits on 650 acres of land.The dolls were “adopted” by approximately 3 million by the end of the year. A holiday toy frenzy of this type would be a recurring theme over the years. In 1983, it was Cabbage Patch Kids. If you are more into theme games, get the Kimono Girl Cabbage Patch doll from Japan. It’s all dressed up and has a lovely, matching obi (sash) and sandals. Also, this one’s about 16 inches tall, and you’ll get it in a Seiza posture, perfect for high-tea games!

These things increase the worth of dolls. Some of the ones that have sold for high amounts have their adoption papers complete and most come in their boxes. If your doll has adoption papers, then you should post pictures of the papers along with the dolls. Collectors will buy the doll higher. The Condition Cabbage Patch Anniversary Dolls 10th Anniversary Cabbage Patch Kid (Zora Mae) Collectible Doll’s Auction Price There was a lot of love given to the soft body of the Shelby Blue Eyed Sheep doll. Children can snuggle up with it and get cozy because it is soft and comfortable. However, the head of the doll is made of plastic. As three million Cabbage Patch Kids were adopted by the end of 1983, figuring out which dolls can possibly rake in the most money may seem daunting. However, here are the top five types of Cabbage Patch Kids circulating the net and into the radars of newbie and veteran collectors alike:When the Coleco company sold the Cabbage Patch Dolls, the boxes were often marked with the year of manufacture. While the style of the boxes changed over the years, the date was often front and foremost. The Coleco 1983 boxes do not sport a banner while those produced in the years following do. Every authentic Cabbage Patch Kids comes with a Xavier Roberts signature, typically on the doll’s left butt cheek. In very rare instances, the signature may be on the right butt cheek or upside down. In addition to this signature, there is also a year printed—if there is no year, the color of the signature indicates the year. In this guide, we not only list the original dolls that started it all but also the most looked for dolls on the market that collectors are eyeing. While not everyone is born with a trained eye for the finer details of Cabbage Patch Kids, for your convenience, we go into detail for how to generally determine your doll’s worth as well as how to identify the key traits that highly sought after dolls have. Originally introduced in 1982, Coleco Industries presented a line of unique cloth dolls with plastic heads called the cabbage patch dolls. People believe they took inspiration from Xavier Roberts’s little soft sculpture dolls called The Little People, sold as collectibles.
