Bobble of the Day
Player: Cole Hamels
Team: Philadelphia Phillies
Year: 2008
Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles
I’m not a huge fan of the Phillies. I can go on and on but I’m sure the Philly fans won’t appreciate my hostility towards this franchise or their fans. I do like this set of the 08 World Series champs however. They are expensive and to complete the whole set is very difficult. I highlighted this Hamels MVP because it’s dope as hell. I love the pinstripe uni and most importantly it looks just like Cole Hamels. The attractiveness of the box is definitely a plus with the World Series Champions logo and Cole Hamels’ name and number running down the side on the front of the box. The base is also unique as hell that includes the year, Phillies logo and the color combination. It all just works. FOCO made Cole’s hair design on the back picture perfect. And lastly, he’s raising the MVP trophy up like a fucking boss.
Sniper rating: I don’t like the Phillies. I don’t like the organization. I don’t like their mascot. I don’t like Citizens Bank Park. But I do like these 08 Champ bobbles, especially Hamels. It stands a good 10 inches and is quite valuable. Keeping my opinions aside, this Cole Hamels MVP 08 WS Champ bobble gets a 9.0 rating. Try and collect the whole set. Good luck.
