When you just knew that you were with the love of your life? Celebrate all of it – the day you met, your first kiss, your second date and your third grandchild. For the original 21, you want to look for the Johnathan & David signature and the figurine's catalog number. Every Precious Moments figurine comes with a production mark, either on the bottom or back of the neck (since 1981). That being said, of these 1980s and 1990s releases, the originals always draw a crowd, so you'll want to look for authentic ones. For example, a Jesus Loves Me (boy) figurine from 1978 is currently listed for $30, and another original 1978 figurine, Make a Joyful Noise, is listed for $22 on Etsy. The collector's market is always changing, and there's room for these figurines to jump back up in price in the coming years, but for right now, they just don't sell for stereotypical collectible amounts. But, currently, they don't really sell for more than $50. Now, these 21 figurines have a reputation for being worth hundreds of dollars, and Precious Moments sells retired versions of a few of them for about $150 each. Many of these original titles are now retired, making them even more collectible because there are no reproductions on the horizon.
