Barbie made her appearance in March 1959, and has long been sought after by collectors. Although interest in Mattel’s popular plastic dolls has waned in recent years, some models still get big bucks. A 1976 Superstar Barbie doll in its original box sold on eBay in April for $130, according to WorthPoint, which tracks collectible prices. A vintage 1967 GI Joe Nurse doll in the box sold for $9,800 in 2018.
