Box condition question: Pristine 2002 Byron Lars "Tatu" Barbie but with a significant tear on the back box. How does back damage impact a NRFB collection?

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this gorgeous Tatu Barbie from the Treasures of Africa series (2002). The doll itself has never been removed from her inner cardboard backing and is in pristine condition. However, as you can see in the video, the outer box has a major tear on the back.
For serious NRFB collectors, how much value does back-box damage like this usually deduct in the current market? Would you keep her as is or just unbox her for display? Thanks for your insights!

Look at this beautiful doll I found! Just wanted to share her gorgeous gown with you all .

Check out this amazing find! I stumbled upon this collectible doll hidden away in its original box. I've named it the 'Blue Brocade Beauty' after that incredibly detailed gown. The fabric has this beautiful light blue floral and bow pattern, and it looks completely untouched by time.
What really stands out is the doll itself. Her styling is so classic, especially with that vibrant orange-red bob and the perfect makeup. It looks like she hasn't aged a day! The whole set up, including the matching blue wrap and the multi-layered skirt, seems pristine.

Ya cansan con la fiebre de los cursos online...

Estoy cansada de todos estos cursos online que han salido desde el 2020 hasta hoy. Todo el bendito marketing es igual: "si quieres tal cosa accede a mi clase gratuita" y, cuando entras, lo que hacen es lanzarte una oferta de un curso de 500 dólares. Ya no se puede buscar contenido sin que te quieran meter un paquete de estos.

[ID Help] Received these matching beauties as a gift. They look very 1960s Mod era! Are they vintage or reproductions? I'd love to know more about their history. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I was recently gifted these two dolls. They are in excellent condition and I'm fascinated by their style. Their outfits are identical: mod striped dresses with gold chain belts, yellow fur-trimmed coats, hats, and red boots. They look like classic 60s dolls, but I'm not sure if they are true vintage or a later reproduction line. I'm trying to learn more about when they were released and which edition they belong to. Any expert help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
