Are Shirley Temple Dolls worth anything?

Question

My grandmother left these to me and I'm just wondering if they are worth anything. I've looked on Ebay but there are just so many listed! How can I find out the real value of them? Any websites? Anyone I can look up in the yellow pages, what category it would be in? (this is Orlando, there has to be SOMEONE who can tell me...)

Answer 1

Here is site that will tell you how to check to make sure they are real  or copy's

http://www.shirleytempledolls.com/molds....

then  check the local library for books on doll collecting  there would be books on Shirley Temple dolls,,,and price guides,, even check books on   antique and collectibles

even check with local antique dealers in the area they can probably  give you a price estimate  ,,,

and if you do not sell them have the doll's  insured ,,,  any  type of collection should be insured  (fire, theft etc etc)

Answer 2

Yes, antique Shirley Temple dolls are very very valuable, if they are in good condition. There are lots of websites who would probably be able to tell you what they are worth. Try eBay, its a great place to get rid of unwanted collectibles. If in mint condition, some can fetch up to $1000.
