My Friend's Bobblehead Collection

CW

Maybe the proper term is "obsession" rather than "collection".
My friend started collecting these back when the bobblehead
craze began a few years ago. He now has over 300 bobbleheads
and counting. At least I know what to get him for birthdays &
Christmas. Here's some pics (sorry for the glare):







This is probably the most prized piece in his collection -- a vintage
Red Wings bobblehead dating back to 1962. One of our friends
found it while garbage picking...

Love to see that collection in the middle of one of our earthquakes here.

Great collection! Thanks for the pics. I love to see how others display their stuff. I bought a couple very similar display cases from a card shop that was going out of business a few years ago, they are a pain to move, but I look great all filled up!

You call that a collection? I dont see the Mr. Mint bobblehead anywhere!!!!!

Is that Ben Wallace with the giant afro in the front row on the bottom? Pretty cool.

Griffins-- you can get all of 'em shaking pretty good by nudging the
display case. Actually looks a little freaky after awhile....

Kid4hof03-- those cases look great when the interior lights are on, too.
My friend bought his used, like you, and he still had to fork over about
$600 for the thing.

Cubfan-- my friend ordered a Mr. Mint bobblehead, but when it arrived it
was severely overgraded, so he returned it...

helionaut-- yep, that's Ben with the 'fro, alright. I would've uploaded
some bigger, more detailed images, but the limit was 50 kb. I think he's
got four or five different versions of Ben. The newest one is really
cool -- it's a bigger one made by Forever (great bobblehead company),
and Ben is holding his Defensive Player of the Year award.
