Wow, its been a long time since I posted a blog. Not sure if blogging is still a thing (probably not) but this one deserved a post! A fellow collector of mine found this one several years ago. Upon selling some of his collection, he knew I'd like this one so we made a deal for it. Its definitely a prototype made by BDA. This was made for the 2014 season when Target Field hosted the All Star Game. I believe this Mauer bobble was originally offered to the Twins as a potential giveaway that year. They pivoted to do a Harmon Killebrew instead. You'll see the similarities between the two bobblehead icons.
Safe to say, this Joe Mauer bobble is one of my new all-time favorites.
