Calgary 1988 Skating Star Barbie
February 26th, 2010
Calgary was the beginning of a few trends that would come to dominate Olympic design. In contrast to Montreal’s International Style, these games returned to a regional aesthetic, referencing local forms and Western themes. Applying now familiar marketing tools, Calgary abandoned the exclusiveness of past Olympics and positioned the games as a mass culture event. Popular brands like Mattel, Coca-Cola and more, participated in the games like never before.

I have the 1988 Skating Star Barbie from the Calgary Olympic games in the original box never opened and would like to sell. Could I get an idea as to how much it would be worth and should sell it for. Thanks
