Summary/making a call

 I did have all Best Buys up to 1974 on factory cards- the examples shown in Mattel catalogs (excluding all variations etc.). Recently, I removed quiet a number of my fashions off the cards due to years of the factory glue breaking down on the inside of the cards. The fabric being clean with no glue damage was more important to me. It's just a personal preference and decision of any collector whether to remove the fashions off the card.
