My apologies, you are absolutely correct. Bobby, please delete.

Picked this up for some friends who have a son at the University of Georgia.

Sure looks similar, but if you go to the link in the first post you won’t see any with a square base. Interesting….

Not in my realm of interest to collect

But There are some cool looking ones and I can see these fitting nicely in a display case or man cave

Cool thread! Have had these for many years, and never realized that they were part of a (very large!) set. Love the detail, and some of the college mascots are incredible!

It’s a mystery to me how the Bills got a figure. The only other (known) pro team is the Saints but that makes sense, since Quinco was in New Orleans. The link in the first post says they were in California but I think that’s incorrect. The labels say Quinco, New Orleans; Buco, SF.

This one is on ebay....he has the same heebie jeebie eyes. The seller says it's a Buco, although there is no sticker.

Never saw this one before. So ugly, it's cool. If it looked like a baseball manager, I'd probably get it.

If I were you I would paint a U on his cap and plant him next to your Ute bank!!. The pair would look great!!
jmho....
I have always liked figures banks Ashtrays Glasses but have always understood I was in a small minority. Like I still remember ( can picture it falling in slow motion ) my very large 69 Mets Ashtray getting knocked of a table 38 years ago. (And I am a Yankee fan) The larger and more fragile the more I respect collectors who care for them.
Great Thread.
