Original Cabbage Patch Kids

Xavier Roberts' hand-stitched "Little People" originals from the late 1970s (before Coleco mass-produced them) can fetch $1,000-$5,000. But the real money is in the 1983-1984 Coleco first editions with original adoption papers and birth certificates. Sealed-in-box examples have sold for over $3,000. The 1983 holiday shopping riots — where parents literally fought each other in toy aisles — created the first modern toy craze. Some hand-signed Xavier Roberts originals from his BabyLand General Hospital have sold for over $40,000.
