Tips For Collecting Barbie Dolls by Shannon Medley
Since its launch in 1959, the Barbie doll was predicted to be one of the most valuable collectibles because of the potential of its value. Barbie was first manufactured in Japan and made its debut wearing a black and white stripped swimsuit and ponytail. The dolls were available as either a blonde or brunette. As the years went on, Barbie has had many makeovers and comes in a much greater variety. Barbie is now a doctor, a teacher a lawyer and equipped with clothes and accessories to match her busy lifestyle.
Due to her tremendous popularity, many people started to collect Barbie and all the different people she has embodied. Barbie has been made to commemorate many different holidays as well as time periods and so, she makes a perfect collectible not only for those who knew her originally, but new lovers of her.
When beginning collecting Barbie dolls, there a few things to remember when creating the best collection. One of the most important things is to be knowledgeable about past Barbie dolls and dolls that have yet to be released. Many original collectables could have been altered to improve their appearance however, this will decrease their value. Any Barbie doll that is of a limited edition will be more value than the others. The less of a doll was made, the more value she will hold.
One of the first things to notice when determining the value of a Barbie doll is to note any defect in the doll. Any tear in the clothes or if she does not look as clean as she should, the value will decrease immensely. The most valuable dolls are those who have never been taken out of their box (NRFB) and were not exposed to any dust or mistreatment.
It may benefit a new collector to become familiarized with the unique attributes Barbie dolls have. Accessories and outfits help to make Barbie special and dolls with all of these in tact will be worth more. It is also important to go to shows, read books and join collector’s clubs. This will allow you to learn more about the dolls and their value and get other opinions on pieces you may have.
Buying books which list the current value certain Barbie dolls hold will help you get the most from your doll. It is important to know how the value has changed over time and to know the accurate value. These books also list conditions the doll could be in and the value accordingly.
