Barbie Doll Collection – Guidelines
Here I wish to give an explicit list of instructions to collect Barbie dolls and a note on changing trends.
1. Look for no damage: Check the Barbie Doll you collect thoroughly, for any breaks or scratches since the defected dolls are less valued.
2. NRFB dolls are worthy: The Barbie Doll in ‘never removed from the box’ condition is more valuable than the one removed from pack.
3. Insist on original: A restored or an altered Barbie may be appealing but it is no good for collector, in terms of value.
4. Time of the make: The date you usually find on the abdomen of a doll is the designed date of mold but not the date it was made.
5. Distinct ones get more: The rarity of Barbie Dolls always counts. Dolls which are produced less than 35,000 as Limited editions are valued more than the Collector editions that are released more than 35,000 in number.
6. Attire: Doll with original getup and accessories are worthier than the Barbie Doll’s outfit when it is sold.
7. Update with latest price list: Buy a book that gives existing values for Barbie Doll. Assess your collectible Doll’s value by finding the same doll in list and an average of prices shown in such lists tells you the actual value.
8. Compare: Doll-shows at your place, auctions, local stores and online shops help you to compare the doll you are looking for with that of others.
9. How you evaluate is important: A Barbie Doll finds place in your collection only when it attracts you. In that way, your emotional attachment with that doll outdoes the market value and it becomes so precious for you!
10. That’s like a good doll: Good dolls never look weird as dumb or too trendy. You can pay more for collector picks and classics.
First is The Best
I received my first Barbie Doll on my fifth birthday in 1960. Like any other girl, I love the first doll of the collection. At that time Barbie was just one year or so and her first design was with strapless black and white zebra lines swimsuit and brown colored short hair.
Houseful of Dolls
It didn’t take much time to find plenty of Barbie Dolls within our collection. We, three little sisters collected dolls with every outfit and possible haircut. Our room used to be filled with sunglasses, earrings and plastic mules. Headless bodies of dolls in the garden and floating heads in the toilets had become common as the collection amassed.
We would have made much fortune if such large collection of 1960s was well taken care of.
Barbie’s Allies in 1960s
Barbie used to have apparently less number of friends, clothes, careers or vehicles in 60s. Assorted things and friends of Barbie was a big fascination for most girls.
Ken Carson, Barbie’s beau who was another important doll of my collection but I took less care to dress him up since he wore very casual clothes all the time including formal occasions accompanying Barbie.
Midge, the red haired friend of Barbie came later. However, Mattel was smart enough to design Midge’s clothes so specially that Barbie’s clothes never fit the blonde.
Barbie got a sister called Skipper and we had one Skipper doll at least.
Time for Multicultural Barbies
I was told about Caucasian dolls by couple of my African-American friends of our group while talking about toys and dolls we had. Including Mattel, the maker of Barbie couldn’t catch up the trend in time.
Old is Gold
If I were to buy, I would prefer to go for number of Barbies that look so chic and distinguished made in the years between 1959 and 1965.
As far as ‘the best collection’ of Barbie is concerned I recommend to spend on originals and first of the series and avoid indifferent qualities of latest ones.
Gift a lookalike Barbie
Barbie is a perfect gift when you present it dressed in a similar way of little girl whose birthday or other occasion is on. Then the girl likes to keep her Barbie clean, new and carefully dressed as she does for herself.

How much is my Cabbage Patch doll worth?
I have a mint condition cabbage patch that I found while hitting up garage sales. Her name is Kizzie Rosa and she’s a Snacktime Kid. Mattel recalled the Snacktime Kid Collection and offered a full refund of $40 in the early 90s. I’ve found a couple on ebay but no one has this one or any information anywhere. She’s and African American doll and all the ones I’ve found are Caucasian. Can anyone help me find more? Or if you want to buy it…talk to me! Thanks Yahoo-goers!
