Expedition League Bobblehead Set

Super super excited to share this post.  I’ve been working on this bobblehead subset since 2018.  It’s been a long journey but I’m finally able to say its complete - at least currently, thru the 2020 season.  Although I believe there were a couple teams that thought about doing bobbleheads last season but ultimately scrapped those plans because of the pandemic and loss of fans/games.  Hopefully we’ll see more scheduled for 2021!!

So it all started in 2018 when a new collegiate summer baseball league was formed, called the Expedition League.  I learned about the league and the possibility of bobbleheads in early 2018.  I followed this from afar but knowing I wasn’t really close to any city, it was going to be tough.  In 2018 there were 8 teams in the league and 7 of them did bobbleheads.  At that time I knew I wanted to go for the set and I figured if the league did well, there would be more in the future. 

Thru the 2020 season there are a total of 11 bobbleheads in the Expedition League set.  3 teams did a second bobble (Souris Valley, Badlands and Pierre) and Wheat City joined the league and did their inaugural bobblehead, all in 2019.  Unfortunately one team folded (Hub City) but the league gained another team with Wheat City in 2019 - the Fremont Moo.  And in 2021, 3 teams start their inaugural journey - the Sioux Falls Sunfish, Mining City Tommyknockers and the Canyon County Spuds.  Check out the picture below.  I’ll also make individual posts for each bobblehead!

Joe Mauer & Justin Morneau Mini SGA Bobblehead - Fort Myers Miracle

Here's the 3rd (and final for the time being) rare Twins minor league/affiliated bobblehead.  This is a dual bobble of Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau.  I believe it was given away in 2007 and hugely popular.  The only problem with this one is it's delicate nature.  I know several that have arrived damage.  Its a very fragile bobble, so if you are able to find one without damage, you are lucky!  Otherwise, just know that the majority of them have some degree of damage!
