Thousands of Dolls Discovered

This is local to Atlanta, but I thought some of y'all would like to drool over the potential. Watch the video, too.

I'm glad to see they're making a charity with the profits.

That's cool though I wonder what impact such a large collection might have on the vintage market. The last time this happened they found a bunch of pristine Color Magic torsos and it caused a sensation. If she had hundreds of original Barbies? Think of how much they'd go for and what they might do to the prices of dolls that are now considered rare.

I'm not much of a vintage collector myself. I can't afford that. I go for the repros mostly instead, but I'd surely love to see her collection just to see it. Must be amazing...

Not that it was explained (because I wondered about it also) but I got the impression that she only had 1 of each limited edition doll so I don't know how it might affect the market.
