BOBBLEHEADS ON MY "WISH LIST"

I am going to keep a list here of 20-25 pieces that I am looking to acquire by trade. Let's face it, anything is available on Ebay if you want to overpay.  I am not shooting as Ebay merchants as not all everything there is overpriced.  However, if people perceive value or that an item you will have many options to buy them at an inflated price plus shipping.  I firmly believe in free markets, and an item is worth what someone will pay for it. That said, I am going to try and see if I can make some progress in my hobby by doing something more creative that simply paying more than anyone else will offer.

The first five items that I am trying to acquire are:

1. Boog Powell Red Cross Bobblehead (Orioles)

One that I firmly expect not to fall into my lap, but my favorite item that I don't have.

2.  Ernie Whitt SGA (Toronto Blue Jays)

Can find it at a reasonable price, but usually shipping from Canada doubles the price.

3.  Andre Dawson SGA (Expos)

I have one that I got a long time ago, but while I was moving things around in my basement, I dropped it. Only the cap bill is broken, but I need to get another one or another head to replace it.




4.  Jake Peavy 2005 Car Bobblehead (Padres)

I have the Cleveland car bobble of Grady Sizemore and he needs a drag racing partner.




5.  Ernie Banks 2009 SGA (Cubs)

Simply one of the coolest ballplayers ever.

  1. I have a Jake Peavy race car bobblehead, only problem is that I am not a collector and not interested in a trade. Open to suggestions.
