Antique doll collecting is the second most popular collecting hobby in the United States, coming in second only to stamp collecting.  If you are already a doll collector or want to become one, there are so many options that you may find it easier to start with a certain type of doll and branch out later to other types if this hobby really piques your interest.

Some collectors prefer to acquire dolls that were all manufactured by a specific company, such as American Girls, Barbie, Bru, Dawn, Chatty Cathy, Chrissy, Ginny or Shirley Temple.  Other doll collectors prefer to collect by genre, such as one-of-a-kind artist dolls, cloth or wooden dolls, ethnic dolls, baby dolls, fashion dolls (Barbie being the most famous), porcelain dolls, or miniature dolls.  An avid doll collector often includes his or her collection among their most featured decorative home accents.
