"Say, hi to Chrissy. Here she is. You baby boomers will know who she is because she was made in nineteen sixty-nine. You know, I shouldn't say this but this was the year I graduated high school. Anyway, here's Crissy. And you know what she does? Her hair grows. How weird is that? Can you imagine as a child, you're playing with this hair? Doll were never really quite my thing but this Crissy has grow hair and if you have that original box that I just showed you, this Crissy is probably worth about seventy or eighty dollars. Maybe a little more if the box is in perfect condition. Now, if you find a Crissy and you make sure she's in good condition. Her hair is a little ragged but I think we can fix that. Her legs are a little weird but, you know, it all works out. If she's in good condition and you have a box and you have what they call 'mint in box'. That means that she's never been taken out of the box and she has the little rubber bands that hold her little leggies, etcetera. That in the box is probably worth about a hundred and fifty dollars. Mint condition. So if you see Crissy, give a little tug for me."
