- A very good Barbie catalog is
- Paul David "Exclusively Barbie"
- 292 West Water St.
- Chillocothe, OH 45601-2431
- One year (6 issues) is $19.95 in the US, $23.95 Canada, $29.95 others
- He has dolls & clothes from the mid 1970s to present. It is a good price
- guide plus he offers tidbits on what new department store limited Barbies
- are coming out and which ones might be the most collectable. Note: This
- publication is black & white with mediocre publication qualities - it
- looks like it was produced with a xerox machine.
-
- I highly recommend "Barbie Bazaar." It is sort of the Barbie Bible and I
- consider it priceless. It is a slick publication with first rate articles
- and lots of color photos. U.S. subscription for one year (6 issues) is $26.
- You have to write to ask about foreign rates
- Barbie Bazaar
- 5617 Sixth Avenue
- Kenosha, WI 53140
- If you can only afford one, I recommend this one because it also has a
- good classified section where you can get price ideas (for example, a
- 1988 Happy Holidays Barbie - $325. Luckily, my mother-in-law got me one
- at K-Mart for $25 when it came out!)
-
- My criteria is that I only buy the department store limited ones.
- They are the ones that will probably go up in value most.
- However, now there are so many of them that I don't get all of them.

- Happy Dolling,
