Do you throw your unwanted bobbleheads away?

Do you throw your unwanted bobbleheads away?

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog on when to throw in the towel regarding a damaged bobblehead. Big time collector’s almost always have bobbles they just don’t want anymore. I personally know several collectors who just throw them away to either save room or there’s just no value to them. I have some news for you. NEVER THROW ANY GOOD CONDITION BOBBLEHEADS AWAY.

Start an eBay account and list it! Start it at a dollar and see where it goes! If it goes for 3.00 then it’s better than ending up in the bottom of your garbage can! Set your shipping fee at 7 bucks and see what you can get for it. Someone always can use a bobblehead and buyers attention is at an all-time high when you list it for 0.99 on Ebay. Some food for thought Snipers. 

Bobble of the Day “Allen Crabbe” Brooklyn Nets SGA Bobblehead

by | Feb 10, 2018 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Player: Allen Crabbe

Team: Brooklyn Nets

Year: 2018

Manufacturer: Coyote Promotions

So the Brooklyn Nets are not having the best season overall, but there’s something to be happy for. Their bobblehead giveaways. The Nets once again are giving away another gem of a bobble and tonight’s giveaway is Allen Crabbe. I’m sure the lines will be jam packed to get into the Barclay’s center and YOU should be there if your near the NY area. Coyote Promotions manufactured this beauty and it’s a must have in your bobblehead collection.

Crabbe is a matchup nightmare. As a 6’6 shooting guard, he’s literally impossible to guard. Does he have Lebron and D-Wade finesse? No, but he’s got the ability to put fans in seats. I love the fact that Coyote designed this bobble of Crabbe in his shooting pose as draining 3’s is Crabbe’s game. The base highlights center court at the Barclay’s Center and his name has raised white letters against a black backdrop that makes it stand out. 

 

 

 

 

 

Sniper Rating: The mohawk hair design is incredible as Coyote added ridiculous detail along with Crabbe’s trimmed beard. The Nets have some of the best NBA SGA’s as there’s no other team that rocks the all-black colors, which is a dope feature. Coyote once again provided us fans with a deluxe box as Crabbe has multiple photo’s around the perimeter. Hands down a 9.0 rating for this Brooklyn Nets Allen Crabbe bobblehead and you should already be making plans to get to tonight’s game. The Nets and Coyote Promotions GO HARD. 

Would you trade Barry Bonds for Clayton Kershaw straight up?

by | Feb 8, 2018 | Sniper Rants

In their prime, would you trade Barry Bonds for Clayton Kershaw? I’m talking in their prime. Not today. Not yesterday. Not 25 years ago. In the prime of their careers. 

We all know the Dodgers and Giants hate each other in the worst way. So take Bonds when he took steroids and take Kershaw in his Cy Young years. It’s a very debatable question as you’re trading a big time hitter for a lights out dominate pitcher. It boils down to what does your team need at the moment. A power bat or a 20 game winner? 

Would you make this trade?

Bobble Sniper Super Bowl 52 Prediction

by | Feb 4, 2018 | Sniper Rants

Here we are Snipers. Super Bowl Sunday as it should be a National holiday, and I’m not sure why it’s not. Two weeks of preparation for both teams, media, commercials, artists from all over the globe, you name it. I’m not going to go over game plans and all of that analysis bullshit. You can go and read that on ESPN or some other sports source on the web. I’m here to give you my opinion and my opinion only. 

Firstly, I’m a Dolphins fan as many of you already know. Better yet, I’m a struggling Fins fan for many years now. The Patriots have never let their foot off the gas within our division the past 12 years. Am I angry? No. I know Brady and Belichick are masterminds and I will honestly say, what they’ve done to the NFL is damn right incredible. We may never see a dynasty like the Pats in our lifetime ever again. With that being said, the Deflategate and Spygate bullshit is real, but it doesn’t take those 2 Super Bowls off their record. They have them and they will never go away. Cheaters? Maybe, but it is what it is. The Pats are winners and you can dispute greatness. 

Now the Eagles. From the bottom of my heart, I cannot stand Philly fans for the life of me. They are angry, disrespectful and just flat out scum. Are their other fans of other sports team nasty? Do other cities light fires and break shit? Of course! But here’s the thing. The Philly fans take it to the next level. Built in jail cells in the stadium. Greasing the city polls prior to the game against the Vikings to prevent the animalistic assholes from creating damage. How about the game where fans threw batteries at players? How about 5 years ago when Jeff Saturday of the Colts was laying on the turf injured and Philly fans both cheered and laughed at him. I almost want to believe that Philly fans think the louder, more rude they are, makes them feel less insecure. They almost try and one-up each other who can be more of an asshole. I can go on for hours here, but the bottom line is this is a fan base filled with dark, dark souls.

They haven’t won a Super Bowl and they still claim to have loyalty. NO they don’t! It’s a what- have- you- done for me lately mentality. There’s no loyalty. All they wanna do is win and Philly fans will throw any player, coach, manager or fan under the bus within seconds. 

Stereotypes generally are true and this applies to the Philly fan base. I’ve never been to Philly but have close friends that have gone to college in Philly and have visited. I have heard NOTHING BUT NEGATIVE THINGS. It’s a shit hole, there’s garbage everywhere and is flat out a trashy place to go. I believe every word about Philly. 

And this is why I want Brady and the troops to slaughter the Eagles. These fans don’t deserve a Super Bowl. Given the fact that they literally destroy their own city and have to wake up the next day and live in their own city that they just destroyed, boggles my mind. For a team that hasn’t won shit, they sure pride themselves on being “big and tough” and LOOOOOOVE fighting. And do me one favor, save the Rocky “Hard nosed” city bullshit. That gets old and it doesn’t mean shit in the grand scheme of things. 

Bottom line is can the Eagles win the Super Bowl? Of course! Anything can happen. Have you noticed not once have I mentioned the team? The players? The coaches? What they did this season when Wentz went down is incredible. They have a really good team. But I would love nothing more than these asshole fans to get buried and all get arrested for being toxic, angry low lifes.

I’d love to see a game like Pats 34 Eagles 17. But this is looking more like Pats 37-34 type of game. If they Eagles win, I hope all you Eagle fans message me and tell me to go fuck myself. I’ll take it, but the team I root for will never be the scum of the Earth like it is in Philly. 

If you’re rooting for the Eagles, maybe a glimpse below will make you think twice before you pick the Birds or ever decide to visit Philly. 

 

Bobble of the Day “Jason Kidd” University Cal Berkeley SGA Bobblehead

by | Feb 1, 2018 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Player: Jason Kidd

Team: University of California, Berkeley

Year: 2018

Manufacturer: BD&A

Jason Kidd never had a lot of flare. He’ll never be remembered as a Lebron, KD or Curry. He was actually an awful shooter. What made Kidd so great was his willingness to distribute the ball and allow his teammates to score. Kidd started the trend of pass first, along with Steve Nash. U of Cal finally decided to dedicate a night to all fans by giving away a Kidd SGA bobblehead at a recent game. It boggles my mind why more colleges don’t do bobble giveaways of former GREAT players. It’s a money making system to fill seats and better yet, please fans who loved Jason Kidd or that of any player. 

This SGA of Kidd disappoints me very much. First of all, it only stands a mediocre 5 inches. It’s basically a mini bobble. The amount of money Cal Berk collects from student tuition makes me wonder why this couldn’t be an 8 inch standard sized bobble.

Anyway, Kidd’s face looks NOTHING like him. I swear, if you covered the jersey and the name plate, you’d have no idea who this bobblehead is of. The ears are way to big and BD&A could have made his face a bit wider. One thing they did well, was they captured his one hand release when he shoots the ball. I will give them that. The uni and body structure is pretty spot on and the letters are raised which is a plus. 

 

 

 

Sniper Rating: As a bobblehead reviewer, and a Jason Kidd fan, why in the hell did Cal Berk decide to have him shooting? He is known for his passing ability. I would have loved to seen Kidd dishing out an assist, instead of his one-handed jump shot. Poor execution by Cal and BD&A for not overriding this decision. 

This is NOT a must have in your collection but if you are a HUGE Kidd fan, then score it. It will run you just under $40.00 on Ebay and I actually traded for this one. Poor facial design and horrible pose, this Jason Kidd bobblehead scores a below average 4.5 rating.

This mixtape is much more exciting than his bobble by far.
