Also, check for any imperfections, tears, scratches, color imperfections, mars, stains, etc.Many dolls are collected with the box intact. An intact box can raise the value of an item a great deal. Some are worthless if the box is damaged badly or missing.NOTE: Some dolls are meant to be played with and taken out of the box to dress. Examples are the Tonner Doll Company dolls: Tyler Wentworth, Sydney Chase, Gene, etc.Remove the doll from the box for inspection. Look for forums, discussion boards, or news groups where similar collectors gather online.
