This is a mass-produced doll. Dont be fooled by the certificate. Its worth $25 or less.

As a general rule, there will several thousand similar dolls listed on eBay and Etsy at any given time. Most of these dolls are mass produced and will sell (if they sell) for less than $20 dollars.

• These dolls can be lovely and from all appearances they should be worth more money but this market is always flooded and consequently sale prices are very low.
• Dolls are also very slow sellers and many sellers list their dolls for months and months (some for years) and many never sell.
• Check out the current listings for blonde porcelain doll (no measurements given) and see if any are similar to yours.
• www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=blonde...
• Here is a link showing what similar dolls actually sold for on eBay over the past several months.
• Most will be under $10.

• If you want to sell your doll you could try listing her on your local Craigslist for $25 and someone may like her, especially if no shipping cost is involved.

I think your best bet is to do a search on either eBay or Google, put in all the information you can find listed with the doll and put in a general description.

there are doll specialists out there who indicate that any doll that was manufactured from the 80s on were mass produced in China and thus don't even claim a brand, manufacturer, or serial mark. Even by doll professional standards they are impossible to distinguish the one from the other, or find the maker.

so saying, i am curious as towhat the inside of the label - does the inside look anything like the image attached? If so, this doll is manufactured under the 'Collector's Choice' brand, which new on Amazon can be got for $70 but used you'd be lucky to get $10

I couldn't easily find much nfo on Colectors Choice manufacturers but it is a doll that can be bought at Walmars, Sears, nd Amazon so I doubt it has actual 'collectors' value.
