What can be done to better protect bobbleheads when shipped from the manufacturer?
What can be done to help protect bobbleheads from the manufacturer?
I’m sure we’ve all had our fair shares of broken bobbleheads arrive at our front doorstep. I’m not talking about buying one’s from Ebay that are used, I’m talking about buying from Clark’s, Shop.MLB or even receiving a SGA from a ballpark. What can our little friends over in China do to avoid breakage of bobbleheads when they arrive to us. Big companies bring in pallets of thousands of bobbleheads and they don’t inspect every single box as they shouldn’t. We all know the little baggies that they put the bobble in and the neck protector etc. But this still remains a problem considering how fragile bobbles are.
My only suggestion is possibly Saran or Glad Wrap? It wraps anything and everything nice and snug and tight. Containers, hot chicks, cars and if you wrap a bobblehead, I’m pretty sure it will arrive in once piece right? You and I both know this will never happen because the time it would take to wrap thousands of bobbleheads around the arms, legs and the base, would take forever.
Any suggestions? There’s got to be a more safer way to package these bobbles up and Saran Wrap is my only early thought.
Motivational Friday
Dwelling on what you fucked up on is the quickest way for the next thing not to work.
We all make mistakes and the bottom line is if you think and worry and dwell on the things you messed up on, you will never find inner piece which will prevent you from moving forward. Learn and focus on moving ahead and not what happened in the past. Mindset is EVERYTHING!
Bobble of the Day “Giancarlo Stanton”
Bobble of the Day
Player: Giancarlo Stanton
Team: Miami Marlins
Year: 2016
Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles
Many fans don’t have the opportunity to watch Stanton play often because of the small market team the Marlins are. But when the Marlins are on the road and he comes to your town you better get to know him quickly. The dude hits absolute moon shots that haven’t even landed yet.
This one, exclusively sold at the Marlins Team Store is a beauty and they sold out very quick! I love the geometrical base with the Marlins logo right on the top. Stanton’s name is a a plain ole sticker slapped on the front which is a lazy move by FOCO. Very disappointed they went in this direction. I do love the fact that Stanton is in his homer stance as he should be. The orange jersey color really makes this item pop with attractiveness. His facial features are designed well and overall has excellent detail.
Sniper Rating: Aside from the sticker for a name this is a must have in your collection. I say that a lot about which bobbles should be in your possession but I really mean this one. Stanton is a true homerun hitter and one of the most exciting players in the game today. Once the All-Star game festivities begin in Miami this summer, these will fly right off of Ebay. If you get lucky try and snag one now! Giancarlo and his well detailed bobble score a 8.5.
Motivational Thursday
Me+Collecting=Happy
Besides my wife and kids and extended family, collecting bobbleheads makes me the most happy. I love the hunt, the passion and most of all helping other’s within the game. I’ve recently made a lot of trades with people from all over the country and it’s a good feeling. The trust and the passion other’s share drives my attention to become bigger and bigger.
That’s what makes me happy. What makes you happy?
