Presidential Cabbage Patch Dolls Charity Auction ~~ Up Next, A Cabbage Patch President?

Four brand-new, one-of-a-kind Presidential Cabbage Patch dolls were created featuring the U.S. 2008 Presidential candidates -- Joe Biden, John McCain, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin! All proceeds from the eBay auction of these dolls went to Marine Toys For Tots, a charity group of the U.S. Marine Corps that collects toys for needy kids.

Toys for Tots gives to economically disadvantaged children through the gift of a new toy that they might not have received otherwise. Many of the gifts help with the educational, social and physical development of these children and include items like books, games and sports equipment.

Read on for more details about the auction! Now that the auction is closed, it would be fun to hear about who purchased them!

IMPORTANT DATE:

The Political Patch eBay auction closed Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 ~~ Election Day.

The Cabbage Patch Kids Presidential Election Candidate Auctions

Aren't these Kids adorable? Right down to Sarah Palin's rimless eyeglasses, hairdoo, red suit and heels!

I was very excited about these eBay auctions and I am not even a U.S. citizen! (That is my disclaimer. If I have made any mistakes about these four candidates or the U.S. election, please, please let me know!) I just think the idea was fun, the dolls were amazing and the charity very worthwhile! For more details about the auction please read this page. The results of the auctions will appear below. One hundred percent of the proceeds from these 'Kids will go to charity!

"These four folks in particular seemed like the perfect candidates, if you will, to become one-of-a-kind Cabbage Patch Kids."

"We've had a great history with making celebrity look-alikes with these Kids. We've done everyone from Elvis to Donald Trump to Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey."

Just How Much Do You Think These Dolls Sold For??? 

Well, I've tapped into my eBay skills to offer you the following two eBay sales to help you in predicting the value of Joe Biden, John McCain, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin.

Emerald Nicole is a rare Xavier Roberts doll from about 1984. She has C Burgandy papers as that was what was available when she was first adopted. (They had used up all the B Red papers.) An interesting part of this doll's story is that she was placed on hold for one of the employees and then they didn't want her after all. By that point though, all the B Red papers were gone and so she was issued C Burgandy. Do you remember just how crazy things were with these Cabbage Patch Kids? Well, apparently they are still hot. This doll sold for $3,649!

A group of three 1979 dolls signed by Xavier Roberts sold for $3,900. They also have their original paperwork intact. I suppose you can say that is $1,300 per doll.

The eBay and Cabbage Patch Kid Fine Print 

Each one of these candidate Cabbage Patch Kids dolls was custom produced for this auction and therefore did not come in standard store sealed packaging. It was issued in packaging that was specially created to keep the doll safe. Each doll is one-of-a-kind and another will NEVER be made!

These dolls are not suitable for young children as they contain small parts that could present a choking hazard. They were not really designed to be a toy, and at the prices in the auction, I assume that the purchaser will not ever play with the doll.

eBay prequalified bidders for this auction. That helped to ensure the validity and sincerity of those participating in the auction. To bid, you had to ask to be a prequalified bidder.

United States shipping was included in the price of these dolls.

We'd all agree that creating and auctioning these Cabbage Patch kids for charity is a good thing. But are they cute?

Wondering what happened to the Barack Obama Cabbage Patch doll?

The winning bidder was a buyer who uses the eBay ID name "TCMLSALES" and which stands for The Computer Merchant, Ltd. I read that their plan was to have each of the dolls signed by the candidateand then to resell them for charity.
