Bobble of the Day “Gary Carter”

Bobble of the Day 

Player: Gary Carter

Team: New York Mets

Year: 2013

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles 

One could say this is in the category of “holy grails” as far as Mets bobbleheads are concerned. FOCO came out with these beauties back in 2013 and the Carters sold out pretty damn fast. I scored a case of them and just sold my last one for sale for well over $300.00 bones. For some reason these don’t pop up on Ebay to often. The Kid was an all time great and just a great guy overall. 

FOCO did not hold back on this one. The detail within this bobble is special as it commemorates the Mets winning the 1986 World Series. Gary is running to the mound in celebration with the old school pinstripe uniform which I love! The leg and chest protector cannot be designed any better. They are both royal blue with an orange trim around the perimeter. F#*&^ing incredible! I don’t know what goes on over in China when these are made, but the catcher’s mask is not cheaply made. Whoever molded and painted it needs to get a raise. It’s sturdy, thick and heavy. No cheap material on that particular piece. The base has the Mets logo with the World Series trophy right by Gary’s side. I love the blue trim on the front of the base with Gary’s name in white raised letters. Well done FOCO!

 

 

Sniper Rating: The hair and facial features on Carter are dead on point. The mouth opened with excellent detail of his teeth and let alone his curly hair coming out of the sides of the catcher’s helmet is precise. Of course The Kids Cooperstown Hall of Fame plaque sits against the back of the base and reads, “ Gary Edmund Carter” It states the teams he’s played for and some stats. 

There’s no doubt about it, Gary Carter’s well detailed bobble scores a stand up 10.0. This is right in front of my curio to display proudly. A Hall of Fame player and even a better person. RIP Gary Carter as we lost you to soon.

Double tap if you know someone who wants, wants wants, but complains ALL the time!

For the life of me, I cannot stand these people. They want a silver platter set up for them and everything given to them. They don’t want to work for it. They rather complain and bitch and moan. But what they choose not to realize is, NO ONE CARES. Nobody! Keep to yourself, continue to work hard, and never complain to other people because they won’t care once you walk away.

Winners make a habit of doing things losers don’t want to do. 

Nothing separates a person more than HABITS that they each posses. Habits are the foundation of who we are. Look at a loser and a winner and compare how each one works. The loser will quit and complain, the winner will NOT stop working and therefore, have a shit ton of success!

Bobble of the Day “Paws”

Bobble of the Day

Mascot: Paws

Team: Detroit Tigers

Year: 2014

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

Paws has to be the most underrated mascot in the big leagues. Hands down. I swear, if the Detroit Tigers were a dominant team in the bigs year in and year out, Paws would get more recognition. What’s not to like? Paws is a furry Tiger with black and orange strips.

This particular one was in a series in which the Tiger ran the Bobble of the Month program back in 2014. Paws sitting in his chair with a desk represents the September “Bobble of the Month”, hence students going back to school. This 9 inch bobble is absolutely flooded with detail. The gold base is sharp as fuck with Paws written in navy blue color and it’s raised. Lying on the desk, are a few books, am apple with a green bobble worm coming out. How dope is that? Paws has a jersey and tie on as he’s gotta look sharp for the first day of school. Hs right arm bobbles as is displays him writing with a pencil. 

 

 

 

Sniper Rating: The chalkboard on the back is the added finish to an overall well made bobble. These flew off the shelves in the stadium team store and deservingly so. This may be one of the most detailed mascot bobbles I’ve come across in a log ass time. It’s sturdy and very heavy. Without a doubt, “Paws” the student mascot scores a 10.0 rating.
