For instance, a collectible antique doll's value could be worth $50, but a collectible doll that was owned by a First Lady could be worth $500 or more. The same could also be said of a Madame Alexander dolls' value. A doll once owned by a prominent person typically has a higher value if you have the provenance to back it up.

How much a vintage doll is worth depends on a lot of factors, but you can make a pretty good guess if you consider the following. Condition - Dolls that are new in the box or in pristine condition are worth the most. If they were played with (and most were), they aren't worth as much. Charm - Don't underestimate the value of nostalgia.
