So, all these months later I am going to jump my list back to 25. I am not really adding anything to my collection right now, but am selling a few things on Ebay so if I can put together a few bucks I may jump at something priced right. I have added Carlos Gonzalez, Don Mincher and Bill Mazeroski over the past year. There are currently 17 items that remain on my list:
1 Boog Powell (Red Cross)
2 Andre Dawson SGA (Expos)
3 Lefty O'Doul SGA
4 Tim Raines SGA (Expos)
5 Stomper Mascot (Oakland Kids Club 2003)
6 Mookie Wilson SGA
7 Ryan Zimmerman 2010 SGA
8 Dennis Eckersley SGA
9 Frank Thomas White Sox SGA
10 Eric Davis Reds SGA
11 Tino Martinez SGA
12 Rickey Henderson Stolen Base King
13 Larry Walker Rockies SGA
14 Stan Musial (Cards SGA)
15 Ryne Sandberg (Cubs SGA 2009)
16 David Ortiz SGA
17 Giancarlo Stanton SGA
The new list items are:
18/19/20 Three current Twins (my team). Kurt Suzuki (A's SGA), Ervin Santana (Angels SGA) and Brian Dozier (Twins SGA). All of these are cool and reasonable likenesses.
21 Ron Darling (Mets SGA). He was a mainstay on my APBA teams in the 1980s and I enjoy listening to him talk about baseball. Of course, you's expect that of a Yale guy.
22 Carlos May (White Sox fantasy camp giveaway). May was one of my first favorite players in the 1970s, probably based on liking his baseball card. His career was ruined by an injury sustained while serving in the Marine reserves. The 1960s were a different time for ballplayers. I have great respect for those that have served the USA. I can't find a picture of the May piece, but I am including a shot of Bill Melton who was the Sox fantasy camp bobblehead from another season. That would be just as good. For now, I will call this one either May or Melton. I suspect that both are scarce and expensive.
23 Mike Moustakas (2015 Royals SGA). This one is a cool pose that I don't see all over the place. I have a bunch of Royals, but most are the 1970s guys. This one is a good representative for the modern day Royals.
24 Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn. (Indians SGA). I wish I'd have jumped on one of these when they came out. Most out there now are above my price range. I thought Major League was an OK movie, but have some friends who have it in their top five. That said, the Vaughn character bobblehead is very cool and immediately recognizable.
25 Magic Johnson (Dodgers SGA 2013). This one is more available than most on this list and I suspect will be the next one I get. I was a big Laker fan in the 1980s. Magic is an icon and a guy that has been an inspiration in dealing with HIV. The bobblehead looks like Magic, has him in the Dodger jersey worn over dress clothes and has him palming a baseball...unique and conceptually interesting.
