On March 9, 1959 Barbie made her world debut at the New York Toy Fair

Back then you Barbie went for $3. But the most expensive Barbie was sold for $302,000 in auction in 2010.

This is Dee with her Barbie dolls. (The authentic Barbie’s are on the left with their backs to the camera. The knock-offs are on the right standing up….clearly being shunned for not being cool enough to join the real Barbie click LOL!)
