Bud Grant Bobblehead

After years of discussion and negotiation, Bud Grant will have a bobblehead.  This is the second Bud Grant bobble, but this is the first one that will be produced for the retail market.  Check out this link for more information on the first one!  Grant will sell this bobblehead at his annual garage sale in a couple weeks.  The detail is quite remarkable and Im sure it'll be a fan favorite!  Obviously it has Vikings purple and gold, along with his dog Boom.

Steve Fritz St. Thomas Bobblehead

My latest addition to the collection is a Steve Fritz bobblehead from the University of St. Thomas. Mr Fritz is currently the Athletics Director at St. Thomas and previously was coach of the mens basketball team.  Originally done for Fritz personally, so many people loved the bobblehead they decided to offer them to the public!  It's a well done bobblehead, but I kind of thought they would have put some sort of St Thomas logo on it!  However, it is cool that it includes a piece of a "basketball netting."

Minnesota Lynx - Sylvia Fowles

The definition of foreshadow is to show or indicate beforehand; prefigure.  I blogged about last year's Lynx bobblehead, Coach Cheryl Reeve back in July of 2015, shortly after the Lynx traded for Sylvia Fowles.  Check it out here, and it'll make the first sentence a bit more clear.  The Lynx are doing a Fowles bobblehead on August 28th!  Get your tickets here.  Once I have a picture of the bobblehead, it'll be on the blog!

John Torchetti Bobblehead

 Below is the newest SGA Bobblehead from the Iowa Wild.  It's Coach John Torchetti, and even includes a "bobble-hand!"  It was limited to 1500 but since its a minor league giveaway it's not too desirable at this point.

2015 Yearly Recap - Part 4

For those of us who are married or have significant others, this might be one of the most important posts you read on this blog.  Jess is very supportive of my hobby, when she's out in the summer and hits a few garage sales looking for whatever she looks for, she always keeps an eye out for bobbles or sports stuff for me.  She's found a few good deals too!  But, I certainly return the favor as well!  I've picked up several items (usually they are clothing related or purses) with her in mind.  I've found genuine coach wallets/purses.  I've also found giveaway type clothing items she likes (the Twins bomber and stocking caps) and even a Gopher cardigan that she absolutely loved.
