<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 8304783, member: 24314&quot;]Not an authority but have been around two very serious collectors (dolls in original, unopened boxes - such a shame).&nbsp; I gave one of them a gift titled: <span style="color: #ff00ff"><b><i>Barbie, her life &amp; times&nbsp; </i></b></span><span style="color: #000000">and you would have thought I gave her a $20 Liberty!&nbsp; It is a first edition from 1987 and featured the BillyBoy collection.&nbsp; There may be lots of other reference books published before or since but this is like the Red Book for coins - an overview that will get you in rather deeply.&nbsp; Yes, I read it first.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">So buy the book before the doll!&nbsp; Buy the best condition you can afford. Study current selling prices on the Internet. Join a Barbie collectors group (there is probably a Barbie chat forum).&nbsp; They know more than I care to about Barbie collecting. </span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">Finally, I&#039;d forget the dolls and buy gold and silver at this time.&nbsp; Hope that gets you started.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
