#21: Precious Moments Figurines

Precious Moments figurines, once sentimental staples at weddings and baby showers—and often perched atop cakes—have seen their collectors’ sparkle fade. Once lovingly gifted and displayed, these wide-eyed porcelain figures no longer command the value they once did.

Even supposedly rare pieces, like the 1979 The Lord Bless You and Keep You, now sell on eBay for as little as $9.99. While they still tug at the heartstrings of many, their financial worth has dwindled, leaving nostalgia as their most valuable asset.
