Tom Kelly Exclusive Zubaz Bobblehead

Just this morning, Shaun over at Fan HQ released a new Tom Kelly bobblehead.  Awesome detail, available signed or unsigned (link below).  Not only does the head bobble, the pitching hand bobbles as well as the pitching machine wheels move!  Like I said - detail is amazing.

Rod Carew - Wilson Tobs Bobblehead

Here's the second rare Minnesota related bobblehead.  Sticking with former Twins greats, this one is Rod Carew from the Wilson Tobs (North Carolina) and easily my favorite Carew bobblehead ever.  Carew played for the team in 1966 as the team was an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.  I've seen this bobblehead 4 different times.  And each time it probably was sold within 24 hours of it hitting the market.  I believe no more than 500 were produced but I wouldn't be surprised if even less got into the hands of fans.  

Harmon Killebrew Bobblehead - Payette Version 2

I plan on blogging about some rare Minnesota bobbleheads over the next couple of months.  I've gotten some questions recently about misc giveaways and whats rare and whats not, why and why not, etc.  So I figured, why not blog about them.  So am sharing my knowledge on several.  And I will say, just because its rare, doesn't mean its valuable.  Rarity and Value do not always coincide.  Supply and Demand determine value.  Quantity available determines rarity.  

Here is one of the rarest Harmon Killebrew bobbles there is.  This comes from Payette, Idaho and Harmon Killebrew Days.  This is the second version and much rarer than the first.  Many of these broke in shipping and were destroyed.  It's also a relatively unknown bobblehead because of the rarity.  Prices on this one can be all over the board.  Ones in less that optimal condition will come in around $50ish while ones in nice condition can easily fetch 3 figures!
