The 2 Hour Window Strategy of Sniping Bobbleheads

It’s never too late to mix in additional strategies of Sniping to build leverage. I call this The 2 Hour Window Strategy of Sniping Bobbleheads and its super important. 

A successful Snipe allows you no more than a 2 hour window. It’s proven and it’s extremely less of a hassle. Let me explain. 

It’s been established that Sniping during the actual game is near impossible and a royal pain in the ass. Everyone is sitting down and you’ll look like an asshole going row to row sniping. You’ll just get in the way and fans will get annoyed. Has it ever been done when fans are seated and people still Snipe? Sure, but I’ll say it again, it’s a major pain in the ass. 

Now, you have to arrive right when the gates open as fans typically can enter any stadium 1.5 to 2 hours before first pitch. From the time you enter until the first pitch is GO TIME! 

Snipe in the beer line, the bathrooms and escalators which you already should know. Wherever you can. Once that “rough” 2 hour window closes, you’re done. Done, done, done. Finished. Furthermore, if you try to defy the odds and put on your hardo cape to snipe while the game is being played, the odds of fans pointing you out to security increases and you may very well be thrown out of the stadium. 

This 2 hour window is critical when sniping so use it to your advantage. 

P.S. I’m not one to wait until the game ends to grab bobbles under seats or wait for fans exiting the stadium. I don’t have that kind of time and it’s not worth it to me. By the 2nd inning, I’m home crushing a beer. 

Bobble of the Day “Ricky Vaughn” Akron Rubberducks SGA Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day

Player: Ricky Vaughn

Team: Akron Rubberducks

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: Destroyer Promotions

Besides the Mariano Rivera “Captain America” SGA bobble, this Wild Thing Vaughn is right up there in anticipation for the 2019 season for fans. We all know the movie Major League as it’s arguably the best baseball movie ever created. Ricky Wild Thing Vaughn is a fan favorite and everybody loves him. To date, this is only the 3rd Vaughn bobblehead ever manufactured. The other two are extremely difficult to find and if you do find either or, it’s gonna cost you a half your paycheck. 

I hate to say it but this is a borderline mini bobble. It’s small as shit and I wish it was taller. Now, the raised letters on the front of the base is dynamite and Ricky’s stance looking in for the pitch is pinpoint. Next, I love that Destroyer Promotions put on his black glasses with the silver skull right in the middle. The facial features are dead spot on and the crazy mohawk haircut that bleeds out of the back of his hat is as deluxe as it comes. 

 

Sniper Rating: This absolutely needs to be in your collection. It’s a great conversation piece and it’s the best fucking baseball movie by far. The Wild Thing is a loose cannon and 10 years down the road this will become an “iconic” bobblehead. Trust me. I’m deducting a small margin on the score because the height is much shorter than I expected. I thought the Rubberducks would kick in a few extra bucks to make this at least 6-7 inches tall. Get this one now as the price will only increase. Do not be patient on this one. I repeat, do not be patient as current Ebay prices is the best you’re ever going to see. Ricky the Wild Thing Vaughn scores a 9.2. 

 

Bobble of the Day “Alex Bregman/Orbit Houston” Astros Duel Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day

Player/Mascot: Alex Bregman/Orbit

Team: Houston Astros

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

As you already know, Alex Bregman is a sure fire stud for the Astros and their mascot Orbit is no slouch either. To utterly think the two of them on a single bobblehead together is an insane concept. I think most of us have had a locomotive train set back in the day that we opened up Christmas morning. To say this train that Bregman and Orbit are posing on is inferior to our train sets back in the 80’s, is foolish.

FOCO once again applied a tremendous amount of creativity to this highly collectible bobblehead. The train itself is laced with multiple colors with Bregman’s name on the front and the gold colored caboose. But FOCO didn’t stop there as what’s a train without a train track? The engraving of the tracks are colored white with a tint of faded green. Bregman is sitting in a swag position with a ball and glove in hand while Orbit is flexing his left arm as he knows he’s a top 5 mascot in MLB.

Sniper Rating: Listen, I’ve seen the themed Bobbles of the Month that the Astros team store sells once per month. They are cute. This duel bobble is superior and on another level. Astro fans are gawking over this and rightfully so, as they love their mascot and they love the sarcastic personality of Alex Bregman. Oh, and this one on foco.com is $40.00 less than the Bobbles of the Month that are sold in the team store. Bregman is only getting better and Orbit is as cocky as they come.

A slight nudge on the overall rating as I would have loved to see Alex Bregman’s name in raised letters but beggars can’t be choosers. I’d be literally begging my parents to score me this if I was a teenager without a credit card. Without a doubt a 9.4 rating.

Bobble of the Day “Ken Griffey Jr.” San Bernardino 66ers SGA Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day

Player: Ken Griffey Jr

Team: San Bernardino 66ers

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: AGP

I’ll be the absolute first one to say, that I throughly love all San Bernardino 66ers bobbleheads. I’ve been collecting them for years and AGP does a damn good job. With that being said, ever since I saw this Ken Griffey Jr on their schedule, I instantly got a hardon. Who wouldn’t right? Duel gold crossing bats on the back? That’s straight fire feature right there. But here’s the unfortunate news.

I received this one a few weeks ago and the quality is piss poor. It’s not as sturdy as others in previous years.  My biggest gripe is the gold bats on the back are half painted! Yes, half painted. Not only did the one I’m writing this blog on have these flaws, but other Snipers have shown me pictures of shitty paint jobs as well.

Sniper Rating. With high expectations for this Ken Griffey Jr. bobblehead and receiving it in less than decent condition, I’m not too happy. I don’t know what the workers in China were doing but they sure didn’t do their job. An absolute icon in the history of Major League Baseball and we as collector’s receive a low quality bobblehead is disappointing.  AGP has become very inconsistent this year with their giveaways and if they wanna crack the top 10 of SGA’s of 2019, they better get their shit together. A big time miss on this one. I’m going a soft 5.8 and that’s being generous. 

Why you should never buy a bobblehead off of Ebay showing it’s being shipped from China

This blog is way overdue as I’ve been up to my dick with Sniping, shipping and creating tons of content lately. If you’re a constant Ebay buyer then you need to zero the fuck in. There’s some nipple fuck in China who’s selling bobbleheads who claims they will be shipped directly from China. To name a few he’s selling is the Mariners Jimi Hendrix SGA, Jerry Seinfeld SGA, FOCO’s own Dabo Swinney/Tiger duel bobble to name a few. They are dirt fucking cheap. Like dirt cheap. Many of them are under $10.00 to entice potential buyers. I’ve got news for you. It’s a complete scam. 

It’s very simple. What happens is when you pay, they never ship it. The delivery dates are so far out, it’s literally impossible to file a claim with Ebay if you haven’t received it. Ebay gives 30 days to receive your bobble on average. Therefore, they keep your money and you’re dicked out of a bobble. I’ve had several Snipers tell me they’ve tried it and if they don’t receive it within 10-15 they file a claim and they get refunded. I’ve also been messaged from many of you asking if it’s legit or a good idea to buy it and I advise every single time against it. 

The sad thing is, I think it’s worked a few times for this seller. People buy the bobblehead and they totally forget about it. 30 days later, the money is sitting pretty in the pocket of the guy in China and your sitting there with a big L. Don’t get scammed this way. It’s fucked up but leaches will do anything to try to make a buck these days. Don’t succumb to this and yes, I know the price looks very tasty but you won’t receive your bobble. People like this China seller, Ohio Mold Guy and Bonn Lynn will get kicked in the nuts very hard one day. I hope I’m around to see it as it would bring the utmost pleasure to me. Ultimately, use your fucking coconut. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Here’s some evidence of the China scammer.
