How many sports figure bobbleheads do you have?

hammer1

I have only bought one.

Kirk Gibson "fist pump". Head and right arm move.

Darin

I only have one, Tony Gonzalez of the Chiefs.
Given to me as a present, I love it.
Has grass stains on his jersey.

artee

just juan.

stevek

No offense to anyone, but i've never liked these things at all.

I've never owned one and the only way I ever would is if i could quickly flip it for a nice profit.

craig44

Not a one. The only one I really want is the George Brett pine tar bobble head.

Haven’t moved toward bobble head collecting

Everyone knows the idea for bobbleheads was stolen from the garden gnome. Now the garden gnomes have become bitter. They no longer wish to work for us.

Coinstartled

None, though I may buy an Ernie Harwell one.

I agree with this.

A longtime ago, on a message board far, far away I actually created a handle by merging the two names of baseball player and a star wars character. About a year later one was created and given out at the ballpark on star wars night.

I guess the force was with me.

But was never interested in one prior or post this instance.

No grass stains on this Tony G. Priest is the only other Chief that I have. Couple of "mini bobbles" of the 2, also.

There are several different pine tar themed Brett bobbleheads. One was given away by one of the Royals minor league teams that actually has bobble arms, where the arms bounce and wave. This one was a Kauffman Stadium giveaway in 2018.

I have approximately 60 bobbleheads on display, and probably another 40+ boxed up in a closet. Most are Kauffman Stadium giveaways, but I have non-Royals bobbleheads also. Here are a few more. This particular Sluggerrr bobblehead is somewhat rare. EBay auctions will routinely end in the $500-$1,000 range, although the last few sales appear to be somewhat less in the $300 range.

Here's one more. Autographed by George.

As a Royals season ticket holder, almost all of the Royals figures came as a result of just attending the games. Then, the last several years, one of the benefits of being a season ticket holder is that they make "guaranteed giveaway packages" available for $150-$175 per seat per plan. For that nominal fee, they box up and ship direct to your home every giveaway that is part of the promotional lineup that year. Bobbleheads, hats, replica jerseys, coffee mugs, fleece blankets, t-shirts, etc. Considering that the bobbleheads can usually be resold at a minimum in the $40-$50 range, with some going for close to $100, just those alone make that benefit a great feature. Also, the bobblehead games and a lot of the other better giveaways are usually during the weekend, which then allows me to double dip by either reselling my tickets at a premium, or going to the games and getting more free stuff to sell.

I get that bobbleheads are not for everybody, but then I don't always understand why some people collect what they do, either.

I understand some people collect uncut 1975 topps sheets with the Brett and Yount rookie on it.
That's just weird since they're basically worthless.
So if you would happen to have one and would like to sell I could do you a favor and pay $20 for it.

I do own a lot of things that are worthless to the vast majority of the population, but they're all priceless to me for various reasons besides money. You are first in line if I ever decide to liquidate. You're likely going to be waiting a long time for that day to come, though.

Count- that 1975 sheet with Brett and Yount is honestly one of my favorite things that I've ever seen posted
on the sports mem. thread, and I've seen A LOT of things posted over there.
If you do ever want to sell, keep me in mind. I may not have enough money to buy it, but I'll sure try. LOL.
