1 on 1 - AGP (Part 2 of 2)

Part 2 of 2

I’m assuming the Twins were the first team from MN to contact you to produce bobbleheads?  Do you remember anything about that? 

I wasn’t with AGP when the Twins started with us back in, 2002 I believe?  I was with a rival company, and we were also making bobbles for the Twins.  My past company made a series of 4” mini bobbles that McDonalds gave away with the Twins.  That competition is actually what got me to come to AGP...I was taking sales from Malcom.   See, competition IS good! Actually I’m old school.  This may be my favorite Twins bobble.

What other Minnesota based teams/companies have you produced bobbleheads for?

The Wild, the Swarm (Lacrosse), and the vast majority of minor league baseball and hockey teams in Minnesota...oh...and Jesse Ventura (though I can’t find a photo for you...sorry about that).

My interview with Todd was exceptional.  I had a ton of fun with it and I don't think he really minded it either (hopefully he enjoyed it too).  It's really interesting getting to learn more about the production side of things.  I'm sure some of you knew this by doing a custom bobblehead (to be honest, my wife knew more about that side of things than me - because she's now made me 2 custom bobbleheads).

I'm planning on touching base with Todd again in the near future.

Bobbleheads for Sale

A buddy of mine had an intriguing idea for my blog.  We, as bobblehead collectors, know there are several people looking to sell their bobbleheads.  Maybe they aren't collectors and only have a few, maybe they have duplicates they'd like to move or perhaps they are reducing their collection in general.  This page is specifically for to buy/sell bobbleheads from other blog readers.

I'll update the blog with pictures and pricing information.  If you see something you are interested in, leave a comment and the sale process begins!

Here are the first sets of pictures.  Remember, if you like something, leave a comment in the comments section and we'll go from there.  One more thing about all the pictures below, the seller is looking to sell these as sets only, he is not interested in breaking up any of the following groups.

Van & Cheryl (KS95) set - $35

Tom Lehman - $75

Rochester Red Wings (Twins AAA) set - $40

New Britain Rock Cats (Twins AA) set - SOLD

Sid Hartman set - $100

Jesse Ventura set - $200

Timberwolves Pepsi set - $50

A new section - Collector's Corner

Fellow bobblehead enthusiasts, I have a new and exciting section of my blog.  A buddy of mine was talking to me about selling several of his bobbleheads.  He had the idea of using my blog as an avenue to reach other collectors who might be interested in some of the bobbleheads he has.  I'm still learning about Blogger and all the functions and capabilities of it.  So we'll see how this goes, but it's fun for me to do something different within the blog and help out collectors like you and him!  And if anyone else out there wants to use this to sell bobbleheads (or if you are looking for specific ones) I'll help you out as well!

I'll make a blog post with each collection of bobbleheads he has for sale.  That will be under what I'm calling the "Collector's Corner."  All the posts I'll do regarding bobbleheads for sale will be displayed under "Collector's Corner."  This will be constantly updated with new posts, pictures, pricing information and more.
I've also created a slideshow that contains pictures of the bobbleheads for sale, this is more of an attention grabber and it'll display all bobbleheads for sale, no matter who's they are.  Feel free to leave comments in the comment section to get more information or buy any of these sets!

2013 Best Garage Sale Finds #3

My number garage sale find in 2013 happens to be a group of bobbleheads.  3 bobbleheads for $5 total. I hadn't been focusing on the Minnesota "celebrity" bobbleheads, but for $5, you can't really go wrong. Especially when each of these routinely sells for between $15 and $25 on eBay!  Because of this find, I've added to my local celebrity bobblehead collection.  I only have a handful, but honestly, I have absolutely no idea how many of these kind of bobbleheads are out there.  I know Jesse Ventura has about 4 or 5 different variations of his bobblehead when he ran for Governor.  And some local TV/Radio personalities also have bobbleheads. Getting 2 different Sid Hartman bobbleheads and a Wally the Beerman...all for a whopping $5, certainly a great deal!
