Wow! How cool is that! I had a Barbie when I was younger as well. And another thing I did have was a mum who could sew. She would buy Barbie doll dress patterns. So some unique things I had were two of my Barbie dresses that she made me. One, made from the same blue pastel rainbow-ish material as a gown my mum had made for herself, the other, from HER OWN WEDDING GOWN, which she had cut up anyway to make a baptismal gown for my brother when he was born. Nifty! Far more useful than having it dry cleaned and put in a box, HUH?! She even made a veil for her!

As for collecting now, Barb, if you're downsizing AND have the Soccer Barbie, I might be spoken to about buying her off you?! Let me know!
