Bobblehead Thread (Latest: March 6 Axford bobble?)

[jjkoestler]

How about one thread for general bobblehead discussion?  A lot of our bobble threads get off topic so I thought this would be a good way to make sure that does not happen.

has about 9 days left. Hall is at $153.51 and Attanasio is at $152.50
currently"

"I still do not understand The Hall track suit bobble....Why was it made, and where was it given out? Seems pretty goofy to me.."

It was given away to Brewers employees (just like the Mark A bobble).

Here's the story about Bill Hall and the track suit.
http://milwaukee.brewers....p;fext=.jsp&c_id=mil

It's at $172.50 now with 2 1/2 hours to go. I think I'm going to sell mine if it breaks $200.

For laughs

Fyi........The mark a bobble was given away by his wife at a 50th Birthday party she had for him. That is what mark told me in spring training when I had him autograph mine.

[TURBO]

thanks for the head's up... I wasn't aware of the Bill Hall story.

[jrodbrewcrew]

Does that person honestly think they'll get $1800, or even the $500 opening bid?? And where are they getting their info about seeing another lot "just like it" go for $2000?? Some people's kids...

[BrewersSuperCollector]

Does anyone have a list of the minor league Brewers bobbleheads issued?

[Bikeage77]

I've got a pretty comprehensive list. I think I can tell you everyone (though the year might be in issue) I can't put it in right now, but I'll try to getcha one in the next 24 hours.

[TURBO]

That would be a great addition to this thread...

[BrewersSuperCollector]

Am I the only one thats getting tired of seeing the titles of auctions saying, "Not a Bobblehead".

maybe i should sell my set for $500. i would throw shipping in for free. :P

[Bikeage77]

I got the dates for these up through thanks to Brian (BillyHallFan) from his old page and Bobblebums.com. I did leave out guys that are listed on Brian's page that did not come up through the system (ie Lyle Overbay, Junior Spivey, etc) or guys that were Brewers, but then went on to coach for some other organization (ie Dale Svuem, Randy Ready). I know a lot of people collect the Woodchucks as well, but again, not directly affiliated. I did group them by team, because it's easier to make a checklist for yourself IMO. One last note, the Nashville Sounds have 4 minis and 1 full size character giveaways since they began their affiliation with Milwaukee. I left them out as they aren't mascots. I will gladly put them up though if anyone wants to seek them out.

You are definitely not alone. I saw one today "Beloit Snappers Golf Ball; Not a Brewers bobblehead." I sent the seller a question asking, "Are you sure that this golf ball isn't a Brewers bobblehead?" No reply yet http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Bikeage77]

I emailed that guy with the racing sausage bobbles and told him at best he'll get 100 for all those. again, no reply.

[BrewersSuperCollector]

If its alright with Bikeage and jjkoester can we get that list copied and pasted to the first post in this thread. I see this post getting pretty long.

[Bikeage77]

I was gonna say the same thing BSC. jjkoester and i are talking about creating a new priceguide page. i started one on facebook, and maintain my updates, though I haven't had a change to really check out prices of these. it still needs a bit of work with changing some photos but for the most part, they're all there. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/album.php?aid=139073&id=750003572 lemme know if that doesn't work, it should be an open photo album

I'll start doing some work on the price guide as soon as I'm back in Wisco (around Sept 1). We are beginning our trip from Alaska to Wisconsin tomorrow with a bunch of stops along the way. The highlight for me will be the Helena Brewers game on Friday. Hopefully I can get a bunch of autos and high res photos.

[zachlaka]

Great list and great thread idea. I have always wanted to keep a price guide for Brewer bobbleheads but never got around to doing so.

 

A amazing website would be one like this Twins bobblehead site. He hasn't updated the prices since April but something like this for Brewer bobbleheads would be awesome!!

Just curious anyone here the winner of the latest Mr. 3000 bobblehead on eBay that sold for $50 I beleive as a BIN. Just saw it today looking at completed auctions for the Bernie Stich n Pitch bobblehead.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/Milwa...?pt=US_Baseball_Fan_Shop

 

There have been three so far this month on eBay and I was lucky enough to find one for a BIN $7 while the first one went for $122 with 27 bids.

 

Looks like if you get lucky with a clueless seller and BIN you can do pretty well for the hard to find bobbleheads!!

[Bikeage77]

I figured there might as well be a list for the major league ones too...again, help from BHF and bobblebums.com for the dates

As far as the Mr. 3000 bobble, I had a guy in Michigan who was suppose to pick one up at an antique store for me about a month ago. I was watching a particular bobble he had and asked if he had any more Brewers related bobbles. He told me no but that he saw a Mr. 3000 and would go get a price for me if I wanted. I said sure and he got back to me about a week later and told me they had it for $8. I asked him what a fair price would be to get it to me and he told me $18. I told him I was interested at that price, but that's the last I heard from him. He probably got wind of the one on eBay, which ended shortly after the final email exchange. I'm waiting to see if he lists it on eBay...

[BrewersSuperCollector]

I'm getting tired of all the shill bidding on the ebay auctions. The last couple weeks awantabuy shilled most of his auctions. Now, today(seller xfactorag32 ) there was the blue Molitor up for sale which sold at $98. The seller puts another Molitor blue on auction again. The winner of the Molitor blue is bobbleking55 which has 90% of his bids with xfactorag32. The few bobbleking55 wins go back to 1997 and almost all are from xfactorag32.

[berniebrewer4life]

I'm really shocked Ebay hasn't done anything about it yet. I know they use paypal only now, which helps, but it really is a problem.

[TURBO]

What is the story on the Mr. 3000 bobble?

 

When was it given out, and how many supposedly exist?

[Bikeage77]

BSC- I won the USA Snappy from awantabuy the other day and picked it up from his house. I didn't check bid history to see if it was shilled or what other bidding he had was shilled, but that guy has multiples of like every bobble available. I replaced my mini italian on the spot cuz he had 4 of em. He said he's only been selling his extras with the exception of some of the minor league ones.
