Let's See Those Bobblehead Collections!

[ggary]

Here are some of my Dodgers bobbleheads.

The minis have so many variations of head styles that I'll be able to add to my collection slowly over time. For example, they come with hair parted to left, hair parted to right, moon face, smiling with a closed mouth or showing teeth. They also have them holding a short bat, long bat or a glove and ball.

I also posted pictures of a variety of the square base Dodgers and some other miscellaneous ones as well.

I regret not buying one of the weirdo nodders that Bob was selling (I think about a year ago).

ggary, I love those vintage bobbles. I always wished the Yankees has as many variations as other teams, like the Dodgers did.

I have never seen a Dodger bobble with the LA separated on the cap and Dodgers in red script. How rare is that bobble?

As much as I hate the D**gers, those are some great nodders! The Giants minis come in the same variations. You forgot to mention “eyes left” or “eyes right.” The Giants have that variation in the normal size but I haven’t seen it in the minis. Some Giants minis also don’t have painted sleeves.

The guy between the orange wood base and the Buddy Flex...what’s he made out of?

Did you see the screwball Dodger on eBay, a few weeks back?

YankeesJetsFan, that is a wedge base nodder. According to the nodderpriceguide it is rated as an 8 out of 10 to find difficulty (or a little harder to find the Werdo screwball [7 out of 10 difficulty]).

ooo-ribay, thanks, the red base nodder is made of rubber. It looks very similar to the Buddy Flex but, besides their bases, they are not exactly the same. Also, I did see the screwball on ebay but the one I have is in better condition.

Thanks ggary.

Which nodder price guide do you refer to? I use Warman's Field guide. I am looking into picking up Tim Hunter's Bobbing Head Dolls book soon. I'm always looking for books or price guides to refer to in my collecting adventures.

Thanks,

Mike

^^^^ Both of those guides are great for the pictures but pretty hit and miss on price. I think Tim Hunter’s is 18 years old and prices keep going up, up, up.

It's weird, Gary....1/4 of you D**ger minis are looking the "wrong" way....I have never seen a Giants mini looking anything but left. Also, notice two of mine do not have the painted sleeves.

YankeesJetsFan - I used the nodderpriceguide.com for relative rarity.

ooo-ribay - The eyes looking the opposite way seems to be common with the moon face with the swirl hair. If you look at Bob Freedman's photo again you can notice that his is also looking the "wrong" way.
