Barbie The First 30 Years 1959 through 1989 and Beyond 3rd Edition

As do prices in every collectible market, Barbie doll prices fluctuate according to supply and demand. Prices went through the roof in the early 1990s, fueled partially by speculators who went mostly for modern, boxed Barbie dolls. There was no need to acquire knowledge about the field; all the information collectors needed (names, stock numbers, etc.) was on the boxes. Prices For vintage dolls were also caught up in the wave, but while the values for modern dolls eventually came down, pieces for vintage dolls have stayed up, even as the internet has revolutionized the way collectibles are bought and sold.
