The Cherished Doll Club of Topeka held our monthly meeting on September 2, 2025. Stuart Holbrook, President and Chief Auctioneer of the firm Theriault’s was our special guest. Stuart is considered to be one of the world’s most knowledgable experts in the collectibles market. He stopped by to talk with us about doll collecting and some of his ideas about the future of doll collecting. It was so interesting to hear what he had to say and we are so fortunate that he took the time to stop by Topeka to talk with us. We are also glad that some of our friends from the Over The Rainbow Doll Club of Lawrence also joined us. Many interesting dolls were also displayed by those who attended. Anyone who loves dolls is welcome to join us on the first Tuesday of the month.
