September memorabilia pickups

Guess I can now say I have Huge Nodder collection. This year the Cincinnati Reds had a feature exhibit on Nodders. They had three of these giant 6 foot bobbleheads custom built (and yes, the heads do bob back and forth). In order to help them recoup the cost of this portion of the exhibit, I purchased 2 of the 3. The third is at auction (ends 30th of Sept) through major league auctions.

Agree! That's awesome.... a perfect jumbo sized representation of the original. Whoever crafted those did an AMAZING job!

Huge pickups!

Thanks. The quality and detail on these is amazing. I am a big supporter of/and contributor to the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. Each year, in addition to the more permanent exhibits, they curate a feature exhibit. I think their original thoughts were that some local business entity(ies) would step up to purchase these to help offset the cost as they would look great in just about any business (ok, maybe not every business) Sadly, this did not happen. I bought 2, but just can�t take 3.

I am really hoping that someone snags the 3rd one in the major league auction:

You can find the link to this auction under the tab �SHOPS� at the right side of the screen.

Thank goodness that's not Giants or I would pretty much have to have it.

I'll bet the exhibit is pretty cool.

Wow, is that giant Reds bobblehead cool!

That is awesome Dave and you got 2!! Perfect addition to your already incredible collection.

Looks like they cannot ship it... Bummer

Hopefully someone locally will snag that last one. If not a private collector, it would look great in the entry area of almost any restaurant or bar. They might want to put it under an acrylic cover, though.... I would think the temptation to bob its head would be overwhelming!

Whoa! That thing is cool...and to have two of them??

Here's the direct link to the auction. Can we know what the reserve is?
