Dolls. Some people love them. Some people hate them. But here they are. There's a lot of dolls out there. There's been dolls forever. And I'm going to take a look at the dolls today that might be available to us if you want to either start doll collecting or start your own collection or start making a little money on the side. Maybe like that famous eBay stuff. So we're going to talk about a whole bunch of things today. We're going to talk about the condition of the dolls. We're going to talk about maybe their outfits if they're original or not. We're going to talk about those terrible reproductions, fakes, we're going to look at those. We're going to take a look at what they meant in terms of history. And if you really still like them if you're a baby boomer, because if they have an emotional attachment that's a good thing. We're going to talk about maybe some dolls that are new that look old so you don't want to be fooled. We're going to talk about eyes. We're going to talk about hair. We're going to talk about lots of hair. We're going to talk about the composition and what happens when the doll's old and what may happen to the composition as it ages and how you may want to watch for that in terms of damage. We're going to talk about celebrities. So we're going to just cover the whole spectrum of what might be out there for you if you want to start or you want to grow your collection. Let's go.
