The Giants had two weirdos made but are extremely difficult to find. I will try and post them later

I believe there were three. The middle one here is original...the two on either end are d**gers dolls, repainted by me (not all that well). I'm still looking for the real deals but have basically given up. A buddy of mine has originals of all three that came from reputable sources.

Wow those are cool

Here's a super rare Dodger Weirdo's from the 60's and rare Popeye.


We have over 50 vintage bobbing heads in our next auction. Check them out at: www.insidetheparkcollectibles.com

Dodger Weirdo's
 

I recently purchased probably the Dodgers Bathing Beauty Weirdo in that is the rarest of them all, along with a few others. If anyone is interested in any of them (that is not the bathing beauty), drop me an email. I have sold three others already as these are IMO the best looking nodders of all time.

The two weirdo d**gers currently on ebay are getting some healthy bids.

Yes, unfortunately some idiot is bidding up to the high bidders max and then retracting his high bid. Now the high bidder is telling me that he may retract all of his bids because he does not like what the other guy is doing - sigh.....

Are those yours? It did seem suspicious to me that there were so many bids so early. I always snipe and let the chips fall where they may.

Yes, I am keeping the very best one (Bathing Beauty) for myself, and selling these two. I want to let the auctions run their course but if it looks like this bidder keeps bidding and then retracting, I may have to end them early unfortunately.

I've been looking for this nodder for a while. Glad to pick one up.

LOL That's great. Love it.

Especially after yesterday's win!

As a bobblehead collector, I'm hoping to see some updated pics of everyone's collections. I, unfortunately, have yet to add any vintage nodders to my collection. All are modern pieces either given away at games or retail. My hope is to be able to add at least one vintage piece before 2017 is over.

Show The Off!

Hey Lou...Great lineup

I don't have many and my collection is narrowly focused, but here are mine:

Ok, so I have 2 books coming from Amazon, but I have a question that's really bugging me. Lou (or anyone else please) can you answer this: I have 3 round gold base baseball bobbleheads from late 60's early 70's...in fact, the Reds gold base in Lou's photo is just like one of them, anyway, do all of the ones from that "series" have round gold bases, or do some have gold square bases? Is it the color or the base shape that determines the series/years? Thanks

As far as baseball goes (I know nothing about the other sports), it is mostly color that determines the year, but some overlap of bases/colors can muddy the waters a bit. White or "color" square bases were first (early 1960's). Green round bases were the next "run" in the mid-1960s. Gold round bases were the last run.

In the picture I attached, there are a few that don't fit perfectly with my prior description. These are the 4th and 5th from left in the bottom row (color is not the usual) and the 1st, 2nd and 6th from left in the second row (heads are from other series). Without a super long explanation, these are either a) an amalgamation of parts from the factory or b) done as one series transitioned to the next. The far left in the top row is same, as it is either the head from a green base or the transition from green to gold.

I have never seen a gold square base, maybe because gold and square were not consecutive series.

The Pirates had a gold square base version, that's not too tough to find.

Granted, it was released prior to the round gold base set, and is not related to that set. But it is a nice "mascot head" piece that's pretty affordable.

Thanks guys. Although I'll probably not collect a lot of them, I would like to pick up a few more as accent pieces for my memorabilia room.
Funny, I've actually been looking for a Pirates mascot bobblehead (I like that type better than just a human head) and that's what really generated the question, since I don't think I've ever seen one with the gold round base.

Mark is right....there were 12 MLB "color bases" done in 1960-61 right before the all white square base series. The Pirates "color base" was gold and the other teams were various colors (Giants were orange). In the later "gold base" series, all were round except (I think) the Orioles and Cardinals...both had bird heads and stood on squareish "baseball base" bases.
