Ken as the Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard of Oz" 1939 by Mattel (1999)
Here's a great collectible from the Barbie franchise: Ken in the role of the Cowardly Lion! This doll was made in 1999 celebrating the 60th anniversary of the "The Wizard of Oz" film. So, the way we see it, you have two choices for years applicable to the years you can use for the Best Year Ever: 1999 or 1939! Either one is legitimate.
The contents of the box are new (it has not been opened) but the box pretty much shows its age -- and then some. Like we said, the contents are new, but the box gave its life trying to protect the contents! Nonetheless, check out the photos; we think you'll like what you see. China.
We thank you for stopping by and checking out That Was the Best Year Ever inside Jeff's Curiosity Shoppe and hope you have enjoyed your visit. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can do further to assist you.

A few things to know about Jeff'sCuriosity Shoppe:
Welcome aboard! We're delighted you stopped in. But first, a brief history lesson:
We began with a single store -- Jeff's Vintage Treasure in 2018 -- with Shopify and sold mostly vintage sports products. Because some customers wanted newer items as well, that same year we added a second web site
-- Jeff's Treasure Chest -- to the mix.
The second store did well, and we became obsessed with other "niche" stores and began to accumulate inventory for them. The desire to add these other options led us to the decision in 2022 to eventually consolidate everything under one roof, which also resulted in the new name. You'll notice some of them on our home page, and that's only about half of what we have planned (unless we come to our senses first).
It will probably take quite a while to list everything we have, so check back often, and we're always open to your suggestions -- really!
As far as store operations go, some key points:
1) Shipping: Right now, it's U.S. only. Unless it's the holidays, or a weather situation (as we recently experienced) we always try to ship within 24 hours, but we officially ask for a 2-day window.
2) Returns: Our policy is we don't accept returns, and here's why: In the six years when running both of our original stores, we had 2 -- count 'em, 2 -- returns: One was for a Oakland A's hat that the manufacturer
tagged "adult" but turned out to be youth, and we also shipped a White Rose replica St. Louis Cardinals T-Bird instead of a nearly identical Indians model... yep, that one was our mistake. The point being that to date there has not been a single complaint over the quality of what we sell. And with people getting what seems to be an "Amazon" mentality when it comes to returns, we really don't want to travel down that road. However, know that if you have an issue with anything we sell, let us know and we'll do our best to make it right. Fair enough? (See our Policy and/or Contact Pages in the footer at the bottom of any
page for more detailed information).
Enjoy your visit!
