   the doll probably had a decent value but not thousands.  What I find   
   about Shirley Temple items was they were too mass produced.  My mom   
   had a blue glass creamer or small pitcher with her on it and I thought   
   it had to be worth probably 200-300 (guess).  Turned out it's like   
   40-50 bucks.
