See every item's copies, RAP and lowest asks.* Roblox has published seven doctor-themed Limiteds, and the most valuable is Dr. Ishmael, a squid hat that Roblox listed at 9,001 Robux in November 2013 and left at 148 copies. A Limited is an item Roblox has stopped selling, so the only way to get one now is to buy it from another player or trade for it. In RBX Invest catalog data on October 16, 2026, Dr. Ishmael holds a RAP of 828,559 Robux, and the cheapest copy anyone has listed asks 1,889,000. RAP, short for Recent Average Price, is Roblox's slow-moving average of an item's sale prices. The other six run from Dr. Love at 316 copies down to Dr. Spooks Magic Top Hat at 3,970, and two of them still sell for under 6,000 Robux. **Quick answer:** Roblox's doctor Limiteds are Dr. Ishmael, Dr. Love, Dr. Shamrock, Dr. Elephant, Dr. Eightball, Dr. Crazybot and Dr. Spooks Magic Top Hat. Dr. Ishmael is the rarest and priciest at 148 copies; Dr. Spooks is the cheapest and most common at 3,970 copies. | Item | Published | Launch price | RAP | Copies | Lowest ask | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/135470997?size=150) [Dr. Ishmael](/item/135470997) | Nov 15, 2013 | 9,001 R$ | 828,559 | 148 | 1,889,000 | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/22314719?size=150) [Dr. Love](/item/22314719) | Feb 14, 2010 | 500 R$ | 71,610 | 316 | 175,000 | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/48039359?size=150) [Dr. Shamrock](/item/48039359) | Mar 16, 2011 | 500 R$ | 74,576 | 477 | 95,999 | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/17173665?size=150) [Dr. Elephant](/item/17173665) | Oct 21, 2009 | 150 R$ | 24,145 | 468 | 54,321 | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/28455752?size=150) [Dr. Eightball](/item/28455752) | Jun 7, 2010 | 88 R$ | 23,313 | 847 | 22,500 | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/114384958?size=150) [Dr. Crazybot](/item/114384958) | Apr 29, 2013 | None on record | 5,012 | 926 | 5,443 | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/132123882?size=150) [Dr. Spooks Magic Top Hat](/item/132123882) | Oct 10, 2013 | None on record | 2,160 | 3,970 | 2,825 | Rows are ordered by consensus street value, the price serious traders actually negotiate around, which is why Dr. Love sits above Dr. Shamrock despite a slightly lower RAP. The lowest ask is the cheapest copy listed for resale right now, and copies is how many exist in total. ## What counts as a Doctor Limited on Roblox? Seven items across 2009 to 2013 Roblox never grouped these under one series name. They arrived one at a time over four years, each a joke about a different kind of medical professional, and collectors group them by theme the way they group [cat items](/collections/cat-items) or [crowns](/collections/crowns). Five are hats. Two of them, Dr. Love and Dr. Shamrock, are face accessories, so they sit with the [classic face accessory Limiteds](/collections/classic-face-accessories) while the other five sit with the [classic hats](/collections/classic-hats). The jokes are in Roblox's own catalog descriptions. Dr. Elephant, the oldest of the group at October 2009, reads "The elephant will see you now." Dr. Eightball "always ends the game the same way, 8 ball side pocket." Dr. Crazybot comes with a warning: "I don't know where he got his degree but I don't want him getting within two feet of me with a scalpel." Six of the seven have fewer than 1,000 copies each, which puts them in the same supply bracket as the rest of the [Limiteds under 1,000 copies](/collections/limiteds-under-1000-copies). Supply matters more than age for price, and you can see it in the table: Dr. Elephant, the oldest of the seven, sits fourth by value. ## Why is Dr. Ishmael the most expensive Doctor Limited? 148 copies and a 9,001 Robux launch ![Dr. Ishmael](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/135470997?size=420) Roblox published Dr. Ishmael on November 15, 2013 at a price of 9,001 Robux. The number is the joke. Its description reads "He's got a PhD in being OVAR 9000!!!! He got it at Oxford....", a reference to the "over 9000" meme Roblox used repeatedly in that era. The hat belongs to two families at once: the doctors here, and the squid line covered in the [Tentacles series history](/articles/tentacles-series-history-roblox), where it is also the rarest member. Only 148 copies exist, which is the smallest supply of any doctor item and small enough to count as a gem, the word for a scarce Limited that collectors chase and hold. With that few copies, a single sale moves the price a long way, and sellers price accordingly. The cheapest listing today asks 1,889,000 Robux against a RAP of 828,559, so the ask is more than double the average. A high ask does not prove a high sale. On a market this thin, where only a handful of copies change hands in a year, listings can sit for months. That is the pattern behind [projected items](/articles/projected-items-roblox-limiteds-explained), where an ask or a stray sale pulls the headline number away from what people really pay. ## Which Doctor Limiteds carry serial numbers? Four of the seven Roblox's catalog data flags Dr. Love, Dr. Shamrock, Dr. Elephant and Dr. Eightball as Limited U. A serial number is a per-copy number, so copy #1 of a Limited U is a different object from copy #300, and low serials usually fetch a premium from collectors who care about them. Dr. Ishmael, Dr. Crazybot and Dr. Spooks Magic Top Hat are plain Limiteds, where every copy is interchangeable. That split is worth knowing before you shop. If you want a specific serial on Dr. Love, you are hunting through a handful of listings and waiting for the right one to appear. The difference between the two tags is explained in full in [Limited vs Limited U](/articles/limited-vs-limited-u-roblox), and the serial premium in [Roblox Limited serial numbers](/articles/roblox-limited-serial-numbers). ## Why Dr. Love outranks Dr. Shamrock even though RAP says otherwise ![Dr. Love](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/22314719?size=420) By RAP the two are nearly tied, with Dr. Shamrock at 74,576 and Dr. Love at 71,610. Trader consensus puts Dr. Love clearly ahead, and the live asks agree: the cheapest Dr. Love listing is 175,000 Robux while the cheapest Dr. Shamrock is 95,999. Supply explains most of it. Dr. Love has 316 copies against Dr. Shamrock's 477, and it was a Valentine's Day release, published February 14, 2010, which puts it in front of collectors every February alongside the rest of the [Valentine's Day Limiteds](/articles/valentines-day-limiteds-history-roblox). Dr. Shamrock followed on March 16, 2011, a day before St. Patrick's Day, and gets the same kind of March attention as the other [St. Patrick's Day Limiteds](/articles/st-patricks-day-limiteds-history-roblox). Its description leans into the gag: "I don't know about you but when I'm having surgery, I want my doctor to be a lucky one." When RAP order and consensus order disagree like this, RAP is usually the stale number. Both items sell rarely, so an old cluster of sales can hold a RAP up for months after the real market has moved. Reading the lowest ask next to RAP, as the table above does, catches that faster than RAP alone. ## What is the cheapest Doctor Limited? Two sit under 6,000 Robux Dr. Crazybot and Dr. Spooks Magic Top Hat are the budget entries, asking 5,443 and 2,825 Robux. Neither has a Robux launch price on record. The Spooks description explains why: "This hat came out of the Gift of Forbidden Magic on October 11th, 2013," one of the holiday gift boxes described in [Roblox's mystery gift box history](/articles/roblox-mystery-gift-boxes-history). Giveaways mint a lot of copies fast, and at 3,970 copies Spooks is the most common doctor by a factor of four. Dr. Eightball is the quiet one to watch. It is the only item in the family whose cheapest listing, 22,500 Robux, sits below its own RAP of 23,313. At 847 copies it is the third most common, so it trades more often than the gems above it, which makes it the easiest doctor to buy and resell without waiting weeks for a buyer. ## Are there UGC Doctor Limiteds? Three small-run community items Community creators have made their own doctors. UGC Limiteds are community-created Limiteds, and they work differently from the classic ones: they cannot be traded at all, so they change hands only through Marketplace resales. | Item | Published | Copies | RAP | Lowest ask | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/139082652074244?size=150) [Dr. Love's Eccentric Shop Teacher](/item/139082652074244) | Feb 14, 2026 | 10 | None recorded | 5,000 | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/15692713820?size=150) [Dr. Shamrock Headphones](/item/15692713820) | Dec 20, 2023 | 20 | 1,218 | None listed | | ![](https://img.rbxinvest.com/item/13919684904?size=150) [Dr. Hasan](/item/13919684904) | Jul 1, 2023 | 44 | 2,159 | 2,498 | All three are tiny runs, and two of them borrow a classic name on purpose. Dr. Love's Eccentric Shop Teacher, released on Valentine's Day 2026, is a remix of the hat covered in the [Eccentric Shop Teacher history](/articles/eccentric-shop-teacher-roblox-history) with Dr. Love's branding on top. Dr. Hasan launched at 901 Robux and now has 44 copies. Runs this small barely trade, so treat a single ask on any of them as one person's opinion about price. ## Check the creator before you buy a "Dr. Ishmael" There is a second item in Roblox's catalog called [Dr. Ishmael](/item/82010129278814), published in May 2026 with 448 copies and Roblox's original description copied word for word. It was not made by Roblox. The group behind it uses a display name that mimics Roblox's own with a capital I in place of the lowercase L, Roblox's catalog records a price of 999,999,999 Robux against it, and 431 of its 448 copies have never sold. The real one is asset 135470997, created by the verified Roblox account. Checking the asset ID and the creator on the item page takes five seconds and is the only reliable way to tell these apart, because names and thumbnails can be copied. More of these patterns are in [fake Limiteds and name squatting](/articles/roblox-fake-limiteds-name-squatting). ## The Roblox-made doctors you cannot resell Two Roblox-published doctor items never became Limiteds, so they carry no copies and no resale price. Dr. Gutpunch's Glove came out of the Kirby Buckets Gift Box on October 21, 2014, per Roblox's own description, and then went offsale, meaning Roblox stopped selling it. The four-piece Dr. Fia Tyfoid set, published July 3, 2019, is also offsale and non-Limited. Neither can be bought, traded or resold today, which is why they sit outside the tables above. They are part of the theme's history even so, and they explain why a catalog search for "Dr." turns up items with no market data attached. ## Is the Doctor family worth buying in 2026? What drives the premium here is supply plus a recognizable gag. Dr. Ishmael has both, 148 copies and a meme price, and it is the one piece of the group with real gem-tier demand. Dr. Love and Dr. Shamrock get seasonal attention twice a year and hold value well for items with a few hundred copies. The bottom three are cheap because giveaways made them common, and nothing in the market suggests that changes. If you want the theme without tying up a fortune, Dr. Eightball and Dr. Crazybot are the practical buys, and they carry the smallest gaps between RAP and lowest ask in the family. If you want the gem, understand what a 1.89M ask against an 828K RAP means: the number on the listing is an opening position in a negotiation. Watch the live spread on the [items leaderboard](/items-leaderboard), track listings as they appear in the [Deals feed](/deals), and if you plan to flip a copy, buying to resell within weeks, the [reseller tools](/resell) show the ladder of asks beneath the top copy. Two rules apply when you sell a classic Limited: Roblox takes a 30% cut of the sale, so you keep 70% and need roughly 1.43 times your cost to break even, and you need an active Roblox Plus subscription on your account to list it at all. Buying one on the resale market also locks it for seven days before you can resell, which is covered in [Roblox Limited holding periods](/articles/roblox-limited-holding-periods). None of this is financial advice, and thin-market items like Dr. Ishmael carry more price risk than common ones. Market figures come from RBX Invest catalog data and Roblox's own asset details for each item as of October 16, 2026, release dates and launch prices from Roblox's catalog records, and the resale fee and subscription rules from Roblox's marketplace documentation. ## FAQ ### What is the most valuable Roblox Doctor Limited? Dr. Ishmael, at a RAP of 828,559 Robux across 148 copies as of October 16, 2026. Its cheapest listing asks 1,889,000 Robux, more than double its RAP, which is normal for an item with that few copies. ### How much does Dr. Ishmael cost? The cheapest copy listed for resale asks 1,889,000 Robux as of October 16, 2026, while its RAP sits at 828,559. With only 148 copies in existence and sales years apart, the real price gets settled by negotiation somewhere between those two numbers. ### Why was Dr. Ishmael priced at 9,001 Robux? The price is a joke about the "over 9000" meme, which Roblox used in the item's description too: "He's got a PhD in being OVAR 9000!!!! He got it at Oxford...." It went on sale at that price on November 15, 2013. ### Which Doctor Limiteds have serial numbers? Dr. Love, Dr. Shamrock, Dr. Elephant and Dr. Eightball are Limited U, so every copy carries its own serial number. Dr. Ishmael, Dr. Crazybot and Dr. Spooks Magic Top Hat are plain Limiteds with interchangeable copies. ### What is the cheapest Roblox Doctor Limited? Dr. Spooks Magic Top Hat, asking 2,825 Robux as of October 16, 2026. It is also the most common at 3,970 copies, because it came out of a 2013 giveaway, the Gift of Forbidden Magic. ### Can you trade Doctor Limiteds? Yes, the seven classic ones. They are Roblox-created Limiteds, so they move through Roblox's player-to-player Trade system, which needs an active Roblox Plus subscription on both accounts. The UGC doctor items cannot be traded at all and change hands only through Marketplace resales. ### Is the 2026 "Dr. Ishmael" the same item? No. The original is asset 135470997, published by the verified Roblox account in 2013 with 148 copies. A separate 2026 item reuses the name and description with 448 copies and was published by a community group, not Roblox. Always check the asset ID and creator on the item page. ### Can you still get Dr. Gutpunch's Glove or the Dr. Fia Tyfoid set? No. Both are Roblox-published items that went offsale and were never made Limited, so they have no copies in circulation and no resale market. Dr. Gutpunch's Glove came from a 2014 gift box, and the Dr. Fia Tyfoid set dates to July 2019. ## Keep reading - [Golden Crown Series History: Roblox's Rarest Recolor Line](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/golden-crown-series-history-roblox.md) - [Doge Series: Roblox's Classic Meme Limiteds](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/doge-series-history-roblox.md) - [Tixapalooza: Roblox's Tix Currency Limiteds Explained](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/tixapalooza-tix-currency-limiteds-roblox.md) - [Clockwork Series History: Roblox's Longest Recolor Line](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/clockwork-series-history-roblox.md) - [Egg Hunt 2012: Roblox's First Movie Studio Crossover](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/egg-hunt-2012-roblox-movie-crossover.md) - [Bunny Ears Series History: Roblox's Easter Limiteds](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/bunny-ears-series-history-roblox.md) ## Related pages - [Every Item Histories article](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/topics/item-histories) (HTML only) - [All RBX Invest articles](https://rbxinvest.com/articles.md) - [Roblox Limiteds leaderboard](https://rbxinvest.com/items.md) - [Limiteds listed below RAP right now](https://rbxinvest.com/deals.md) --- Source: [RBX Invest](https://rbxinvest.com/articles/doctor-limiteds-history-roblox) — independent Roblox Limited analytics, not affiliated with Roblox Corporation.
