Kinda embarrassed to admit it but the Darktoylord had a Cabbage Patch Kid when he was little. His name was Miles. I called him Milo. Don't know what happened to him. He was just gone one day. I hope he found his path and is living the best Cabbage Patch life a Cabbage Patch Kid can live :D
I’ve watched this like 3 times but found a head mold #17 today for 99 cents! Came back here to see what she said about it and I’m excited to hear her #8 BOLO!! 👏🏻
The very first Original Cabbage Patch kids did not have head molds, originally they were all soft sculpted. I visited BabyLand General Hospital (not the new place) 1979-1980 many times as a child and adopted many (8) dolls. Witnessed their "births" as well. Booty and birth certificate both hand signed by Xavier Roberts (met him too on 4 occasions). These are the true Original dolls. When they hit the market, mass production, plastic molded heads, of course the public went crazy, but us little country Georgia girls, already had our babies!! Will treasure mine forever!
The first true original dolls were the ones that he bought from her then resold them and then continuously went back to her wanting more and more argued with her and found a way in a loophole somehow to steal the copyright from her. I believe originally it was little people. You might not be fully aware of the whole story I suggest being a fan of them going fahrbach educate yourself because Xavier Roberts doesn't deserve your accolades trust me
@@phoenixreign7522 He definitely copied from her Doll Baby concept, but we are talking about the labelled Cabbage Patch dolls. Her work is hands down superior the eyes alone are brilliant.
Went to an Estate Sale today, picked up 5 cabbage patch dolls... all run of the mill dolls, I paid too much for in fake outfits :) Should have watched this first, I would have walked away. Very helpful, thanks!!
Brought fun memeries of my mom and I standing in line to grab each one to resale. And running to the next place to stand in line to grab more.We could not grab them fast enough to resale. And I remember getting excited when we was given by the store a special one
I remember standing inline with my mom mom buy these dolls. When she died, she had 35 dolls. I got a bunch and also the larger fabric doll and the bride and groom. I enjoy all the information.
I was absolutely fascinated by this video! So impressed with Sarah's knowledge (and to think she probably just scratched the surface of all she knows!)
Please don't stop doing these. Was so awesome to see the daily cabbage in person and I am loving these. I had to come back to comment cause I watched it yesterday
i have 3 dolls new in box from the early 80s. 2 are premies and one is a ethnic doll in courderoy bibs. i got 30 or so. one is from the orginal babyland also. i got a astonaut one and all kinds of them.
Just tip 10 to 9 was way more then 1 tip, we learned head molds, how to spot fakes, and the desirable outfits, I knew about and was on the look out for the soft sculpture and little people tag and have found 1, at a goodwill of all places, but now I'm really educated, Thanks Sarah and Kevin!
I got mine Christmas of 84 after my grandfather had passed, the next year I got a Premie and a redhead but Irene has been in my bed since 1984, seen the introduction of my late shih tzu as a puppy then me bringing his ashes home after he'd been cremated, the introduction of my female maltese thirteen years ago and now probably because of how my female maltese is acting, is probably on HER way over the rainbow bridge but Irene is still in my bed at the head right beside my pillow. Nicolette is at my mom's place and Felicia is somewhere in my room.
I live close to the Cabbage Patch General Hospital so I’ve had the pleasure to take my daughters there at their old facility and new facility. Looking forward to bringing my grandbabies for their first experience there. I highly suggest if your ever in the area to stop and see it. You won’t be disappointed!!
My little sister was born in 1983, and my aunt bought her 3 Cabbage Patch Kids. They were never taken out of the box, and my mom GAVE THEM AWAY (she didn't like her sister-in-law 😆). I wish I still had them!
Thanks Kevin for having Sarah on your video. We can all go out and look for these dolls with confidence !! Also in a nice way tell BRM not to quit her day job!!😹
❤I made 38 soft sculptured cabbage patch dolls, both female and male (with boy parts), with short or long hair, your color choose, eyes, freckles or not and skin color and dimples in the butt cheeks. The reason I stopped making them was because I could no longer find the material to took to make a completely handmade doll! I’ll admit not all were great looking, especially my first ones but my kids got them, lol. I also made the clothes to go with them. We’d raffle them off or I made order forms, each came with birth certificates, but let kids name them!
the eyes on the fake were off as well. i was a collector for many years, when i tried to sell them i couldnt even get $10 a doll. ended up donating 95% of the collection. kept a handful that were sentimental.
I truly enjoy watching the videos on the Commonwealth Flipper channel. The Top 10 format videos are a standout for me and I have to say, Kevin does a fantastic job providing historical context and his wife adds a touch of comedy that really brings the videos to life. Sarah's expertise on the topic is truly remarkable and I appreciate the insights and knowledge she brings to the table. Thank you Kevin, Sarah and Kevin's wife for sharing your expertise, insights, and humor with us. The combination of all three of you make the videos incredibly informative, engaging and enjoyable.
I have an original Little People doll I adopted in Gatlinburg, TN Took it back years later and got it signed by Xavier Roberts. Still have her adoption certificate and all.
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your expertise with us! I love this video format! It's just enough information to get a jump start on a new reselling niche. The enthusiasm that an expert has in their area of reselling is contagious.
I don't think I've ever commented on your videos but I had to say I really enjoyed this format. It would be nice if you did something like this at least twice a month or so. Thanks
Thanks for this video. I am in the process of cleaning up my old Cabbage Patch kid dolls. Between me & my siblings, we have 18 dolls, seriously! My mom worked at a dept store in the 80’s, so she got first choice on them, when they came in & a discount, & I think she was a little obsessed with them, lol so, only a few were played with a lot. I’m going to donate a lot of them to the Goodwill. But, before I do, gonna check to see if they are worth anything. Even though, I have a large variety, don’t think I have any that you talked about in the video. But, some of them are more valuable to me because of the memories!
Hi Kev, that is so interesting, my wife went straight to check her 1983, we now know this as its has a black signature Cabbage patch and its a number 2 made in Spain 🙂 I remember queuing up for it back in the day. She still has his birth certificate that cam in the box.
Facinating! Oh boy i remember Christmas 1983 i guess when people were flying to other countries to get one of those! Luckily our son was only a year old and had other interests! My Mom would later bring him a fake from Asia which rather quickly we dumped bc it smelled like gasline!
My name for all of the toy crazes before online shopping is the "Toys R Us Fighting Moms Madness". I experienced it while trying to collect the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers action figures.
Thank you Kevin for having Sarah on with all this wonderful information about the Cabbage Patch Dolls. I remember these dolls because I had to make one for my daughter because they were sold out for Christmas that year. You are always so informative about your E-Bay items you sell. Thank you for all you do. Thank you and have a Blessed day.
I lived in Atlanta when they came out and we called them adoption dolls not little people ( soft face) and we used to go to Baby land General for field trips . The dolls were so expensive there but you could buy them at some of the small local stores near by for a little less. I had a New Eared baby lol meaning he had ears 👂
I had no idea they were worth THIS MUCH now. I thought the they peaked years ago and weren't nearly as valuable as this now. Thanks for the education. I went to a "pickers" estate sale a couple years back and there was a big two story storage building in the back packed full but there were lots of cabbage patch dolls, mostly in their box still. I bought a few but didn't get all of them. Nothing too crazy, but decent. Makes me wonder what I missed. To add to the "toy craze" examples from rent history I remember Hatchamals several years back selling for crazy money
Also if you are going to buy just the regular cabbage patch dolls, make sure you look on the tag to see if the letters OK or KT are on it. Those are the best of all of them to get. The KT mold head #4 will have one arched eye brow. The OK kids are chubby looking and the KT kids are skinnier and more like premie’s.
Yesterday I got two cabbage patch dolls just got to work out how much to price them , I am in Australia one is 1982 ( stain face ) going to try clean her and 2017
It's been on my list for quite some time to make a video like this about CPK. I'm glad you got all of that info out there. There are some great cabbage patch kids that people leave behind because they just don't know. Even the more common dolls might have an outfit or shoes that are desirable and could see for good money.
Love the tips I’ll have to check the two I have listed myself for that head mold. Not to mention keeping this video in mind as hunt this year. I received my pocket watch today beautiful piece. Thank you Randal
Thank you for having us! I enjoyed the video!
Thanks so much for dropping by the Cabin and educating us.
I will check out your instagram page. Great information!
Thanks for some great info!!
Thank You So Much Sarah 💜
Thanks for having her! I contacted her about my 40 yr old cabbage patch doll and she got back to me really quick.

I’m impressed. She was actually accurate on many things. Some RUclips videos are not. One thing to keep in mind is that prices constantly fluctuate.
Thanks Diana!
I visited baby land in GA as a kid. It was awesome. Lol
I’ve watched this like 3 times but found a head mold #17 today for 99 cents! Came back here to see what she said about it and I’m excited to hear her #8 BOLO!! 👏🏻

As a doll collector and reseller, I appreciate a respectful video that isn't calling doll collectors creepy. Thank you. It is an art!
When I was a kid we spent Christmas in Macon, GA and my parents took us to Babyland General Hospital. Cool memories.

Helps a lot. Just picked up an estate that had over 200 dolls and at least 4 totes of clothes and shoes.
I got mine Christmas of 84 after my grandfather had passed, the next year I got a Premie and a redhead but Irene has been in my bed since 1984, seen the introduction of my late shih tzu as a puppy then me bringing his ashes home after he'd been cremated, the introduction of my female maltese thirteen years ago and now probably because of how my female maltese is acting, is probably on HER way over the rainbow bridge but Irene is still in my bed at the head right beside my pillow.

My mother-in-law has one of the most valuable cabbage patch dolls out there. I should take a picture of it next time I go there. It's in her will.
Cabbage patch is something I never look at due to lack of knowledge. Great video! Thank you for having her.
Thank you!

I live in Cleveland,Georgia. I bought one of the original Little People from Xavier’s sister . Come visit Babyland General!
This is great information. I found a soft sculptures hand signed at the bins and it sold for $600 in 1 day
Thanks for this! I found 6 CPKs in my grandmother's attic recently. They're all still in the box. Guess I'll have to look into them now!
Wow, let us know what you find out, please!🤗

Your expert has a bow on a boy....Coleco used the auburn loops, like the one with the #2 mold, only on boys.
Thanks for the update on cabbage patch. Take Care. Out
I really LOVED this video! I am stoked to go on the hunt for some of those Top 10 items. Sarah is so cool! 😎
Blue Ridge Mama = comedy gold!! 😀
Thank you for the compliment! I loved the Sauerkraut joke!

This was excellent! Thank you and your guest so very much. I will be watching this one again and again before yard sale season.

I still have my original cabbage patch when I was 13. I also have a Jesmar doll to. I remember the cabbage patch craze.
I have the snack eating orange hair cabbage patch but Ebay took my listing down.
Thank you both for putting this together. I love learning about new things. -Samantha
Love her , am I the only one who thinks one of the dolls looks possibly like her as a baby
😂❤
Thanks for the great learning experience. Kayla homeschool picker just found one in Florida worth hundreds. She was so excited. I think it was 18.
That one was the 19 mold with the teeth! I get so excited when I see those ones!
Great information video!
Once again Blue Ridge Mama stole the show. Hahaha 🤣 ha
That's hilarious me and my wife laughed when you're wife told that joke about the cabbage patch kid lol thank you for the laugh 😃

Awesome! Thank you!
Really enjoyed this video - Please keep doing these. I learned so much!
He should have let her list a few more, like the first edition 2001 TRU K-2 molds.
Wow, full of very useful information! I also liked your little walk down memory lane. Crazy how some toys get so popular.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Creative and informative! Loved the history lesson ❤ From teacher to teacher… good job! Keep this kind of content coming!

Very Informative. Thanks.😊
How informative. Loved learning about these dolls. Great content.....more please.
Great info! I had to go grab my CPK to check but nothing on the list. My mom was in the midst of that craziness in 1982 and told me the stories.
Thank you so much for this video. I love these and have my original from a kid … I’m 50 now. I will be watching out for these now :-)
Kevin, Love The Toy History 💚💚💚 This Can Be A 2 Hour Video For Sure 🥳🥳🥳

I learned so much from this video, thank you! Now I have to find that doll I have in my death pile and see what I can figure out, haha!
