Barbie miss print value?

  • i collect the holiday special barbies and on the 1998 barbie box theres a miss print with what the barbie is wearing. part of her outfit is different in the picture than what she actually has on. i was told when i got her that she would probably be worth something since theres a big miss print. does anyone know where i can find out if shes worth value. website of some sort?

  • Answer:

    It could be that the photo is of a proto-type of the doll. Sometimes when they go into mass production they change things inorder to make them cheaper or easier to produce. There are probably a few things that would need to be determined if this error is worth anyting. 1) did every doll have this on their box, or did Mattel correct it? 2) is there a disclaimer that says "actual doll may vary"? Amazon lists a few Barbie doll price guides, I'd suggest checking them out. http://www.amazon.com/Barbie-Doll-Identification-Collectors-Encyclopedia/dp/1574324055/ref=sr_1_1/104-6052807-1169506?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188853588&sr=8-1 Good Luck! I'm a big Barbie fan and would be interested to see if it is worth something..I'm also going to find out if my cousin's '98 doll has the same issue.

I don't know, but I suspect it would help your inquiries to be able to spell "misprint" correctly.

I am a huge Barbie collector, so I naturally went to look at my 98 Holiday Barbie to see what you were talking about. My doll is exactly as the photo on the back of the box. There is a small picture in the lower left hand corner of the "Hallmark" ornament that is a little different. I am very curious about what you do have. I definitely would not get rid of it anytime soon. If it is a misprint, I would think it is very valuable.
