Cabbage Patch dolls - fake?


It's been awhile, but didn't the original Cabbage Patch dolls have hard plastic heads, not stuffed/stitched ones like the ones they auctioned on the show? I know there were a lot of knock-offs, even with the Xavier name written on them, and these on the show didn't have the paperwork either. Do these people even check out what they're auctioning?

The Cabbage Patch dolls (mass-produced) were plastic, but the early dolls were cloth and handmade, signed by the artist.

What surprised me on that show was they were really slip-shod in authenticating Jim Morrison's alleged autograph (which looked questionable). I like this show; usually they are more diligent in checking stuff out. They bring in an expert, i.e. not just have the trainee office boy look on the Internet.
