My 2nd SAMs Twins Bobblehead

From what I know, SAMs produced 3 different Twins bobbleheads.  Kirby Puckett, Rod Carew, and this one - a generic player.  I have the Puckett, continue my quest for the Carew and recently added the generic one.  The SAMs bobbles are pretty cool, but different than normal giveaway bobbles, they are taller and typically a lot more fragile.  They originally came in a specific player box along with a COA card.  Unfortunately this one didn't have the box or card, but for the price, it was a no-brainer for me.  Perhaps I can find one with the box and card in the future to replace this one.  For now, I'm happy to be 66% done with this mini-collection.

Updated Want List - Part 5 (Football Bobbleheads)

Next up focuses on a few football related bobbleheads I'd love to add to my collection.  None of these will be easy to find...actually its very unlikely I find any of them, but that's what makes collecting so fun, right?  The hunt is on...

Fran Tarkenton is first, this is an extremely rare bobblehead as he's wearing a white jersey instead of a purple one.  I believe there are only 10 of these in existence.  

Up next is a rare Vikings generic bobblehead from SAMs.

Lastly, another Holy Grail for me, Bobby Bell University of Minnesota Graduate bobblehead!

Want List (Part 3)

In the third part of my Want List I'm featuring a few more rare bobbleheads.  I see them occasionally but am not looking to spend ridiculous money on these bobbleheads.  They are kinda funky looking but many people like them.  They are called SAM's bobbleheads.  I believe they were originally produced in China and from what I've heard the factory they were made at burned down.  So many collectors never got their grubby little hands on them!  If you know more about SAMs in general - please share!  Otherwise here are the 3, the first is a generic Vikings player, in the middle is Rod Carew and on the right is a generic Twins player.
