Hi Pat, I know some of them can bring pretty good prices on Ebay. That pretty coat Randall has usually sells in the $20s, and there are a few that will bring even more according to some collectors. The FA site lists the ones that are hard to find. This site is a nice reference anyway.

Of course for me, there are so many that were or are hard to find. I never did manage a Mezzanine Mink fashion from the TRU coat collection a couple of years ago, but our TRU is so pathetic, it was a wonder I found any of them. Our new Super Walmart is better, and I have been able to find the new ones easier. My only problem with most of them right now is that E%$*%*%$ glitter. The stuff gets everywhere, and all you are trying to do is dress a doll. I have passed on several of the recent ones because I couldn't handle more glitter. My favorite of the last year is the denim one on this page.

The one with the pic of the #4 fashion model on it. I put it on my # 3 ponytail, and it was a hoot. I have been buying most of the ones with the pics of the Barbies on them. Wish they made those shirts in MY size. LOL

Dear CandiChatters,
Randall's redress with the HTF Fashion Avenue piece made me think to ask
this question: are there really older (1995, 1996, 1997) Fashion Avenues that are considered "collectible"? Which ones are they? I started to collect them from the beginning and have several I consider worthy of a collectible status, but I'm not aware that this is true in the real world of doll collecting. Please inform. Thanks, Pat Brown
