The box itself is a piece of history, showing the artwork and advertising of the doll's heyday. If it's a collectable piece not in a box, it should be stored in a box with acid-free paper somewhere away from light and not prone to extreme temperature or humidity changes. If the piece is bought simply because you like it and not for investment purposes, you might want to get a glass case for it to keep dust and bugs away. Many craft stores ( e.g., Michael's, Hobby Lobby) carry standard metal or metaland wood doll stands that you slip the doll's waist in.

There have thousands. Buy what appeals to you, not what you think will turn over some money. That way later if it doesn't sell you have something you like. Get a stand from any craft store. They also have plastic cases for display, that way the clothes don't get dusty. Buy it on e-bay. There have thousands. Buy what appeals to you, not what you think will turn over some money.

They are worth more in the orginal never opened box. I have my collection on shelving in a room. IF you are going to start collecting Barbies you need to leave them in the box.
