My Latest Custom - Kirby Puckett

Here's my latest custom job.  It's original the World Series Hero retail Kirby Puckett bobblehead. Everyone loves the powder blue and I thought it would look great on this bobble.  I'm pretty damn happy with how this one turned out.  For the most part everything is time-period appropriate except the Twins logo, its not exactly like it is on the powder blues the Twins wore.  Also Puck is a bit stockier than he was when he wore the powder blue jersey.

All in all, it'll sit great next to my Tom Brunansky custom bobble!  I have a few more of these coming!

2014 Spring/Summer Finds #1

The top spot on my 2014 Spring/Summer Finds list is all about one lucky day.  I went to a few garage sales and thrift stores late this summer.  The first one I stopped at, I found this Josh Willingham bobblehead.  No, not the "hammer" bobblehead, the red base, season ticket holder one.  Definitely the most valuable Willingham bobblehead!



At the very next stop, I found one of the most popular recent Twins bobbleheads.  Kent Hrbek and Ron Gant from the 1991 World Series.  



And lastly I found these 2 bobbleheads at my last stop.  Quite the haul for me!  Easily my biggest haul in terms of value when you consider there were only 4 bobbleheads total.  Chi Chi Rodriguez and Maya Moore from the Lynx.  Luck certainly one out that day!

Minnesota Twins SGA Bobblehead Set (Part 12 - Year 2011)

2011 brought the 20th anniversary of the 1991 World Series the Twins won...and one of the most infamous plays in World Series history is depicted on the 2011 SGA bobblehead.  It shows Kent Hrbek tagging (or perhaps pulling) out Ron Gant of the Atlanta Braves.  This bobblehead hits a couple different markets.  Not only the Minnesota collectors, but the Braves bobblehead collectors as well, and not to mention World Series collectors.  I love it.
