For sale is a vintage Barbie doll accessory from the estate of local lifetime Barbie collector, Catherine Gilliam, who meticulously assembled a large, stunning, carefully organized and protected collection of rare early Barbies, outfits and accessories(along with some convention and other rare pieces)—many of which I will be listing. An expert collector, Mrs. Gilliam was a Barbie convention Senior Judge, a charter member of the NBDCCSC, and chairman of the 1994 Barbie convention in Birmingham. The last picture shows this collector's credentials and a 1994 picture of her at the Birmingham convention with Mattel execs (NOTE: These credentials and photo are NOT included in this listing.)

This clothing lot features the 982 Solo in the Spotlight Set, and it includes everything you see in the pictures, including any collector’s notes about this set. The information in my listing is based on her notes. This collector specialized in collecting original pieces, but I don’t have the expertise to discern if any repro pieces ended up in this set, so I have taken many pictures for you to examine in order to make your best determination, and I welcome further questions. This accessory looks and smells good, but the pictures provide the best sense of condition.  This will be very well-packaged in a sturdy shipping box, and I have an outstanding record shipping fragile collectibles.

Please ask questions before bidding so that I can insure you know exactly what you are bidding on.  Because I offer multiple pictures and detailed descriptions and prompt reply to questions, I do not offer a standing refund option.  However, if I made a mistake (I am human), or you have a concern, please contact me, and I will do everything reasonably possible to make it right, and my feedback reflects that.  I want both us to come out winners here.  You can expect the items I sell to be smoke-free, unless I specifically state otherwise. Higher value items may require signature confirmation upon receipt, but there is no charge to the buyer for this.

At your request, I will be happy to create a combined shipping invoice on multiple purchases, subject to size/weight restrictions or any other eBay policy limitations. However, eBay's Global Shipping Program may limit combined shipping for international buyers. Payment is expected within 3 days of purchase. Have fun.
