Let's See Those Bobblehead Collections!

Guy on left is new. He is rare and was expensive. I just explained why in the "April pickups" thread. I'll save you the boredom and me the headache of explaining again. Part of why I love these guys are the very subtle differences. I now have 43 vintage SF Giants nodders. There is only one more I have ever seen but don't have and that one may or may not truly exist. Two pics I did not include in the "April pickups" thread are the third and fourth photo. Second from right in the third photo is also rare (the ball and glove are different than ANY other Giants doll) and note the Tacoma doll in the last picture (pinstriped body and chest decal rather than embossed). The other doll in the last pic is a wood base and everything else pretty much matches the 1960 Buddy Flex rubber nodder.

P.S. There may also be a few mini's I don't have. The mini bodies are all basically the same but there are long/short bat and sleeves/no sleeves variations for probably every head style.

Beautiful Dolls, and thanks for the lesson, Rob! Those subtle differences are something beyond cool, that only true diehard collectors would appreciate.

Great stuff, and congrats on picking up that awesome new Bobblehead.... it's a beauty!
