Rating Systems for Barbie Dolls

For me personally I really like the happy holiday collection Barbie dolls and these are within budget for most people. In fact, this one probably out of the box was maybe $15 when it first came out a long time ago. I think this year was 1994 now these types of Barbie's sell for about $40 as far buying a brand new happy holiday Barbie's. This Barbie now goes for $125 and so the happy holiday Barbie's historically have been know to go up in price. So that's why I collect them now when we talked about Barbie's there's 10 different scales in regards to collecting Barbie's they're graded from C1 to C10. C10 is considered in mint condition where C1 is considered not as good condition and that includes the box and all the accessories that are with Barbie and if she has ever been taken out of the box. When you hear MIB that means Mint in the Box that means that the dolls have never been taken out before. This is an example of that when you hear MIP it means that all the accessories are in the original packaging but the doll might of been taken out of the box. If you here MNP it means mint no box the pristine condition of the doll but the there's no box to go with it. Remember when collecting with the box is usually the best way to do it for money value and MN means interchangeable and excellent with describing the dolls condition. And NRFPB means never removed from the box so those are some tips for you when you actually hear that acronyms around the Barbie doll collecting world.
