At the secret auction on Monday, I spotted this janky looking fake Cabbage Patch Doll. 

“Ha Ha,” I chuckled to myself, thinking about how broke a$$ and fake that baby looked. I even showed one of my friends later that night. We laughed and laughed! 

Well, it turns out that “The Little People” were Xavier Roberts’ first iteration of cabbage patch kids. You can read more about them here, but the joke ended up being on me.

I’m not sure how much it sold for because we left the auction super early that night. More on why tomorrow. I know the one at the auction looks a little dirty, but it was really just dusty–it looked like someone unearthed it in a house that had been closed off for 30 years. Which is entirely possible.
