Q: I have been a lifelong doll collector and I have a special attraction to composition celebrity dolls. One doll that has eluded me is the Texas Ranger Shirley Temple doll. I have had a few chances in the past to buy that doll, but I did not because something was always missing from the doll.

Recently I was able to find this example in the rare 11-inch size totally mint in the box. What more can you tell me about this outstanding doll? I paid $2,500 for her.
