January 23: Bobby Soxer Barbie from the 1999 Barbie Loves Frank Sinatra gift set

Here's an excellent example of a "collectable" doll set that did not come close to holding its value. Even though this impressively detailed two-figure set dates back to 1999, it is still available on Amazon for under $30, and can sometimes be found mint-in-box on eBay for even less (which is where I recently got this one). Apparently the Sinatra generation has faded away, or at least, they're not interested in Barbie dolls. The Barbie doll generation doesn't seem to be interested in Frank Sinatra, not today, and not even twenty years ago when this set was first released.
