assistant: Hi michael
I have tons of Rusty cards, too many to list for now
There are a lot of trading card companies that make Nascar trading
cards
Take a look at a beckett racing magazine next time you are in a store
that carries a real assortment of magazines
Or stop into a trading card shop and ask to see one
It will really pop your eyes out of their sockets when you see how
many card companies there are and what is available
I could put you together a package of Rusty cards for a modest price
and will get back to you when i have it ready.

to model her clothes.
Krissy (red head) is wearing the red and green christmas type long dress.
Mia (black hair) is wearing the one piece powder blue sunsuit
Velvet (blonde hair) is wearing a pink and white lace dress.
I am interested to know what these dolls are worth and if anyone out there
would be interested in buying them?  I can mail a picture of them to
interested parties. :)  I have had these dolls since they were new.  My mom
said I was a chronic Barbie doll head shaver, so she bought these to see if I
would stop with the hair cuts.. hehe, i didnt, I think I just liked a bald
barbie.. But I did not ever cut these babies hair.  :)
