I use to collect those cards because the gum was oh so good!

I got 3, 1st series sets of GPK's.

no kidding, been watching the trend over the past year or so. Yesterday I saw He-man toys in a supermarket (sure sign they are popular)..and I bought a couple seriously cheap Cabbage Patch kid dolls earlier this year and holding on to them to ebay them at xmas time. Starting to get talked about again over here.

I still have 2 or 3 of my old Cabbage Patch dolls. Wonder what they'll be worth in a few years?

Sarah_Jayne · 08-11-2003, 11:49 AM

it depends what kind they are and if they are in the boxes. If they are in the boxes they are gaining in value, as are the original cloth faced versions. Some of the more rare off shoots like the twins and talking versions are slowly creeping up there too. However, on a whole there were zillions of regular cabbage patch kids out there and so the vaule isn't that high.

People that collect My Little Pony products on the other hand will buy just about anything.

Sarah_Jayne · 08-11-2003, 12:08 PM

TondaB · 08-11-2003, 12:14 PM

Do you guys remember rainbow brite? I wonder if they will bring her back...

Sarah_Jayne · 08-11-2003, 12:56 PM

my sister and I both went as rainbrow brite for halloween for two years running. I liked the bad guy more but mom wouldn't let me dress as him (different sewing pattern, I think). She will be back. Ninja turtles are already on their way.
