"Isn't this a Precious Moment, cute huh. Because this is what you call a Precious Moment. Now personally I don't like them there just a bit to cute for me. But these Precious Moments are really collectible. There?s some of the earlier ones are from Japan now they are probably all China. I haven't look at one recently but my guess is there all made in China. These Precious Moments you can still buy them. You know you can go to your favorite card store whatever that may be you see all these cutesy little kids. You know there like the old Hummel's figurines these are like the upgrade these are like over the top cute. But these Precious Moments come, if you have a Precious Moment and if you keep the box in other words if your going to use it keep the box because these Precious Moments from the seventies and earlier are probably worth, this one I know it's almost nauseating it's so cute. But this one is probably worth about twenty bucks with the box and probably ten without it but now is a good time to look for Precious Moments because people for garage sales and stuff. Thrift shops they start pulling out their Precious Moments holiday items and these are very collectible so if you see Precious Moments if you can get them cheap especially if their older and say made in Japan you want those even the current ones I must say however that don't say made in Japan these are a good thing to hold on to. Because people collect them. People come into the store and they say Jan do you have any Precious Moments and I say all of my moments are precious but if your talking about these little ugly doll I mean cute dolls I have tons of them. So these are the kinds of things people collect so even though it's over the top smaltzy cute these are a good thing to buy if you see there still able to be found. So my recommendation if it's a Precious Moment cease it. Cease the moment."
