Oh, dude, a 1973 Raggedy Ann doll in good condition can fetch anywhere from $50 to $100, but if it's all beat up and missing an eye or something, you're probably looking at more like $5 at a yard sale. So, like, if you're thinking retirement fund, maybe keep looking, but hey, at least you've got a vintage toy to play with, right?

In the case of Raggedy Ann, it was the doll by about three years. Illustrator and writer Johnny Gruelle rescued an old, dusty rag doll from the attic to give to his young daughter. Since it had no face, Gruelle painted one. They decided to name the doll Raggedy Ann, combining the names of two poems by James Whitcomb Riley, "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphan Annie." On September 17, 1915, Gruelle received a patent on the rag doll and in 1918 the first in a series of Raggedy Ann books was published. Raggedy Andy came along two years later.
In 1915, a Raggedy Ann doll cost around $1.00. This price reflected the doll's popularity as a beloved children's toy during that era. The doll was created by Johnny Gruelle and became widely recognized for its unique design and charm. Over the years, Raggedy Ann has remained an enduring symbol of childhood.
A Raggedy Ann doll can cost from 14.95 and up depending on the size and age.
Raggedy Ann was first introduced as a doll in 1915. It wasn't until 1918 that she was introduced in the book "The Raggedy Ann Stories". Raggedy Andy was introduced in 1920, in a sequel book, titled "The Raggedy Andy Stories".

I used a raggedy ann doll pattern made by symplicity and sold at Joann Fabrics.
anti-vaccination movement Gruelle created Raggedy Ann for his daughter, Marcella. Marcella died at age 13 after being vaccinated at school for smallpox without her parents' consent. Gruelle became an opponent of vaccination, and the Raggedy Ann doll was used as a symbol by the anti-vaccination movement.
