Rare and Hard-to-Find Kids
I always wonder when I’m about to restore or reroot a ‘Kid, if it’s one that is considered rare or hard-to-find. Here is a list of “Rare and Hard-to-Find Kids” taken from the book Encyclopedia of Cabbage Patch Kids --the 1980s by Jan Lindenberger. (This book is amazing. I highly recommend it if you want to learn more about Cabbage Patch Kids.) Please keep in mind that times do change, and what may have been rare and hard-to-find back then, may not be so now. Due to the internet bringing collectors together worldwide, and the ability to find ’Kids on ebay, collectors have found that many‘Kids that used to be considered rare and HTF really aren’t. However, certain ones are very saught-after, such as #19, #30, and red fuzzies. When in doubt, search ebay's sold listings to see if what you have is selling.
