I've also blogged about this set in the past, please read about it here. This a complete set of all the Twins managers to date. It had a production run of 1000, double that of the 1965 Heroes Katrina set. This is part of my collection but to be honest I'm not a huge fan of this set. Maybe because several of these managers didn't leave much of a mark? And based on the past few seasons...Gardy seems to always be in jeopardy of losing his job. Tom Kelly (per usual) is probably the gem of this set, TK bobbleheads seem to do pretty well most of the time.
It's a neat set but glad I didn't pay much for it. Recently I've seen these sets priced at $400ish on eBay and $300 on Craigslist. Unfortunately for the sellers...they aren't getting those prices.

1965 Heroes Katrina Set
I've blogged about this set or details of it before. You can read a couple different posts here and here. Below is a picture of the set, both front and back. This is one of the best sets out there. Couple different reasons I say that. They are quality made and the 10 players are always popular and very highly sought after. Only 500 of these sets were made, compared to the typical amount of game giveaways (10,000) its such a limited quantity! I'm glad I have one of these sets in my collection!

Minnesota Twins ST Bobblehead Set (Part 6 - Year 2006)
The 2006 ST set is probably my favorite. It includes 4 players from the 65 Heroes set. Earl Battey, Tony Oliva, Harmon Killebrew and Bob Allison. It's a really good looking set, part of the reason I like this set so much are the uniforms. This set is also unique because the full 2006 ST set is actually 5 bobbleheads, but the 5th, Zoilo Versalles wasn't part of the 4 bobblehead set. The only ticket holders that got him were the ones who purchased a specific season ticket plan and seats. Because of that, the entire 5 bobblehead set is very tough to put together. I recently added the Versalles bobblehead to my collection.
Below I've uploaded the comparison picture of the 2006 ST set and the 2005 SGA set. You'll notice that I only have 3 of the SGA bobbleheads because the other is the group of 10 1965 Heroes bobbleheads, which I'll blog about at a later date!
