Look back and someone will always pass you.
There’s no point of dwelling on the past. Your mistakes, your failures whatever it is, never look back. By doing so, you impede your ability to move forward and it will ultimately defeat you. By looking back there will be more and more people chasing you and will eventually pass you. You don’t want to be a forgotten figure. Always look forward and forget the past.
Of course it does! People go nuts and search Ebay like crazy when a player or coach dies. Depending on how good and popular the player is, prices can skyrocket once they pass away. Now, I don’t condone death upon anyone, but in the bobblehead game you have to know when to capitalize on an opportunity.
I remember I had a ton of Joe Paterno bobbleheads 5-6 years ago when that whole scandal when down with Penn State and Sandusky. As soon as Joe Pa died, my Paterno bobbles flew off the shelves and for big money. Another example, is when Don Zimmer passed, I threw a couple of his bobbles up on Ebay and they sold lighting fast as well.
So to answer the question, yes, when a player, manager or coach who was popular in the sports world dies, the value increases dramatically.
Here’s a Sniper tip for you all. When the actual death of a player occurs, you better list it on Ebay quick. Collector’s feel a sense of closeness and want that bobblehead to be a part of their collection while the passing is fresh in their mind. It sounds dirty but it is what it is. This applies to any sports memorabilia as well.
Kindness is not debatable.
In order to become successful, make kindness the foundation of your efforts. The ultimate payoff in business and in life is enormous. Winners use positivity to shine while the losers use negativity and they are the one’s who will always LOSE!
Bobble of the Day
Player: Hanley Ramirez
Team: Boston Red Sox
Year: 2017
Manufacturer: Unknown
I always talk about the “hunt” of finding a certain bobblehead. This one classifies as a “Track Down” bobble. This Hanley was only given out at Sprint stores in Southern Massachusetts if you signed up for a mobile phone plan. I’m an ATT kind of guy and have been since I was 18 when I got my first flip phone. Anyway, I wouldn’t buy a contract ever through Sprint because all I’ve ever heard was they have shit service. That being said, I wonder why they are giving out Hanley Ramirez bobbleheads?? hmmmmmmm. Maybe need more customers?
So I have a good friend who scored me some and he hustled for them. This dude went to multiple stores and made up different names and shit. I don’t wanna ask to many questions as I was fortunate enough to have some in my possession. I think if you bought anything from the one of many Sprint stores you got a bobblehead as well, not just signing up for a contract.
Enough of the background talk, let’s get to the fucking bobble. I will say this is by far the best “look alike” face of ALL Hanley Ramirez bobbles. He’s got the chubby cheeks with his jaw line beard and go tee. If you notice, there’s no sign of any Red Sox logo or names anywhere! Not on the helmet or jersey, meaning the Red Sox did not approve this for licensing. His uniform is very blah with just a red jersey, white pants with a pinstripe and a navy blue helmet. That’s it. Although, our Sprint designers made him have the dreads hanging out of the back of the helmet and earrings in both ears!
Sniper Rating: The box is flooded with yellow and black colors representing Sprint obviously. His name and and statistics are on the back of the box which is a cool feature.
Overall, is this the best bobblehead ever? No. Is it plain? Yes. Is it a bitch to find? YES! And that’s why I love it. If you’re in the market for this one good luck finding it. As of now, I have not seen one on Ebay. I’m sure a few will surface eventually, but who knows what the price will be. The rarity of this bobble is epic and even know it’s not the most flashy bobblehead out there, it’s definitely a “track down” item for sure. Hanley and his mysterious “Sprint” promotional bobble scores a 9.5.
P.S. Thank you Sprint for handing out a bobblehead when know one will sign up for your shit service plans.
I’ve felt this way for a long time now. I’m sure all of you have encountered people who talk all this shit and think they walk on water when they’ve done absolutely nothing. Take Matt Harvey for example. In his first two years he was the man. The KING of New York. But, what did he accomplish? Starting the All-Star game at Citi Field? Coming out for the 9th inning when he pitched that great game? He was awesome, but he’s gotta prove it longer. He was and still is making the league minimum at $550,00k. He got cocky. He show boated. People started hating him. He ran his mouth when he shouldn’t have. Then injury upon injury occurred. Now he goes silent like he’s hiding out avoiding people.
Lesson to be learned here Snipers. You gotta make it first then you can talk your shit. Just think about that co-worker who runs his or her mouth and has done nothing positive for the company in 8 years. That person is not entitled to talk shit. When you “MAKE” it, then you can run your mouth if desired.
