    Oh...I am almost speechless!!!
    Where to begin???!!!!!! This has been my favorite video yet Sue!!! Thank you for sharing Karen's story!! My heart goes out to her for having her first collection so ruthlessly taken from her. I have had something simular happen to me. It brings tears to my eyes and so much sympathy for Karen.
    But...never...never...never... have I seen someone rise like a Phoenix from the Ashes like this lady!!! Oh, Karen...you go girl!!! I can't say that I have seen such a more complete and oh-so personal collection of Barbies!!!! 59 to 75 are my own personnel loves, too.....and some of those outfits.....well, I have not seen since I was little.
    I am just in awe of Karen's collection and feel pride for her all the way through the internet.
    I can tell, just by seeing her collection, that she accomplished it slowly and personally with much though and knowledge of what she was doing!! It was just so exhilarating to see it all. I just can't find enough words to say how fantastic all of it really is!!!
    Thanks to Karon for giving you the pics to share with everyone.
    It was great Sue. Thank you for the great presentation!!!
    Much love,
    Mod Girl

    Awesome collection!! Thank you for sharing your story and your collection Karen! And thank you Sue for telling us about Karen and her fabulous Barbie collection!!
    Sue, I agree with you about Barbie looking older than 16. When I was little, I thought Barbie was the mother of Tutti and Skipper and Francie! I thought Tutti was about 5-6 years old. I thought Skipper was 11-13 years old. And I thought Francie was 16-18 years old. Whenever we played with our Barbies, our Jamie doll was always the designated mom! 😊

    I started collecting vintage barbies when I seen one at a thrift store for auction someone out bid me, I was admiring the barbie she was behind glass and this lady randomly asked if I liked buying barbies I said I wanted that one but someone out bid me then she said I have one she turned out to be a bubble cut so yes I bout my first vintage barbie and she was a bubble cut, the second one I bought was two whole dollar at the swapmeet she turned out to be a hair fair mod barbie I dint know she was that I got her because she looks like jeanie from bewitched. then Ken was my third doll n my collection grew. I got my brother who collects r2d2s droids I got him into collecting barbies hahaha.

      Well I started selling on Ebay about 20 years ago. I came across a vintage doll (Fashion Queen) at a flea market, some old memories of that doll returned, that I had forgotten about. I couldn't sell her. I remembered commercial for the doll. I also remember the few I had as a child. I was hooked. I started to actively look for old dolls. Not sure how many I have, I need to do a count. LOL
