This past summer I scored my second biggest find at a local garage sale. I saw an ad on craigslist for a garage sale that included bobbleheads. Luckily for me, I looked because the garage sale started the next morning. I figured I'd run over on my way to work. I'm so glad I did. A couple people were looking around at all the items for sale. I immediately found the bobbleheads. The sellers had a huge collection of bobbleheads, not only sports, but comic bobbleheads, celebrity bobbleheads, minor league bobbleheads...tons of them. I'd guess there were between 50 and 60 bobbleheads for sale. I didn't look at them all, but they ranged from $1 to $3. Perfect garage sale prices in my opinion. I picked up several and asked if I could place them somewhere safe as I couldn't carry all the ones I was interested in. The sellers were extremely nice and after I picked out the ones I wanted, we chatted about the Twins season (which of course in 2013 was terrible) and whether or not Ron Gardenhire should be fired or not. Then, something wonderful happened. They asked...would I be interested in other Gopher and/or Twins bobbleheads. Uhhh, duh, does a bear shit in the woods? Of course I said! And out came 4 more Gopher bobbleheads and 2 more Twins. In total I picked up 16 bobbleheads for a total of $30. The 3 best are displayed below.
