Iam starting a Barbie collection?
Can someone explain to me what the difference between Pink,Silver and Gold Label…
As far as I can tell, the label colors refer to the number of dolls that are produced and the quality of those dolls. Pink Label Barbies can be found at any retailer and they are mass produced and easy to find. Then the rank goes silver, gold, and platinum. The higher the rank, the more value the doll is worth. Here is what I found on BarbieCollector.com:
“Pink Label™ includes some of Barbie® Collector’s most beloved and fun keepsake dolls, like Dolls of the World®. Pink Label™ dolls do not have a quota limit. These dolls will be available at quality retailers; however, Wal-Mart and WalMart.com are their premiere destination.
Silver Label™: No more than 50,000 pieces of any one Silver Label™ doll will be produced worldwide, and each comes packaged in a silvery-trimmed package similar to the Pink Label™ box. Silver Label™ dolls are available at toy retailers, including their premiere destination at Toys ‘R Us and Toysrus.com.
Gold Label™ dolls will be produced in quantities of no more than 25,000 pieces worldwide. Gold Label™ dolls include such distinguished series as the Barbie® Fashion Model Collection , and designer dolls like the Badgley Mischka Bride Barbie® doll, the first Barbie® Collector doll to be seen on store shelves in the new packaging. Gold Label™ dolls come in a “cake box” type package (complete with acetate layer to protect the doll) and feature artistic interpretive photography or other artwork on the gold-trimmed packaging lid and back. Gold Label™ dolls are distributed via authorized Barbie® doll dealers as well as at fine retailers and through the Barbie® Collector catalog and in the BarbieCollector.com shop.
Platinum Label™ dolls are produced in editions of less than 1,000 worldwide, including premium one-of-a-kind dolls available at select events, such as those produced for CAAF’s annual Dream Halloween events. These dolls also include Platinum Label™ editions of the Badgley Mischka Bride Barbie® (created exclusively for FAO Schwarz) and Faerie Queen™ Barbie® Doll (created exclusively for Toys ‘R Us), among others. ”
I hope this helped.
