And then there were Pink Stamps, part one

The big Barbie fad in 1990 and 1991 was the Pink Stamp Club.  Barbie and family outfits had one or more Pink Stamps on the the packaging which could be accumulated and redeemed for Barbie-themed merchandise.  The most popular item was, of course, the Barbie television set.  My first post will just focus on 1990.
There were two booklets for that year, one unnumbered and another numbered 0007 1032.  Otherwise the booklets were identical.



Although the TV set was the most popular item,
the one I should have purchased was the coat exclusive to the Pink Stamp Club.
It was a revised version of 1988 Private Collection 4509 white fur coat.

The Fashion Fun Guide, a small but thick magazine,
was the best part of the Pink Stamp Club membership.
The pink coat was featured in one of the pages of the first Fashion Fun Guide.

Even though I lived on top of a hill in a city,
the analog pink Barbie television never had good reception.
