Bobbleheads Bobble Sniper

Have you ever witnessed a fight at a bobblehead game?

by | Mar 1, 2018 | Sniper Rants

We all know bobblehead games can get very feisty. I’ve been to games where there’s been a lot of pushing and shoving. A few years ago at Citi Field , some guy cut the line and 3 fans yelled out, “Hey Asshole, get the fuck outta here!” That has been the extent of any confrontation I’ve actually seen in a bobble line waiting to get through the gates. 

I know the Cubs bobblehead game last year was a shit show as fans were screaming at employee’s for their bobbleheads because the game got rained out. I’ve seen videos of what went down that day and it wasn’t pretty. 

I wrote this blog to find out if any of you Snipers experienced a fight and what happened. I’m very curious and I’ll be honest with you, I’d like to  personally see a fight. I’d love for a few knuckleheads to get bounced out of line. In the end, that’s just more bobbles for all of us. 

Send me an email if you’ve seen a brawl go down.

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. 

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. 

 

Do you know how difficult it is to make the perfect bobblehead?

by | Jan 31, 2018 | Sniper Rants

Bobblehead collector’s tend to think it’s easy to make a bobblehead. Yes, are friends over in China do a great job but why I’m so hung up on manufacturing companies, is because we spend our hard earned money on a product and we deserve the best quality that money can buy. 

For example, take a look at this Conor McGregor bobble that Success Promotions made for the Bobblehead Hall of Fame. His hair is detailed perfectly as well as his facial hair. This product demonstrates tremendous effort put forth. A prototype is always sent to the company who must approve it first. Every little detailed is examined from the hair line to the sneaker laces and once it’s good, then the flood gates open to have the numbered desired made.

 

Check out the sticker tattoos’ on McGregor’s chest. There’s at least 5 different color combinations and the sticker has to lay flat on his chiseled chest! How about the base? All of that print mixed in with VERY CLEAR photo’s of McGregor is not easy. I’ll say it again, IT IS NOT EASY. This is the prime reason we pay for a killer product. 

Success Promotions is on their way to top of the manufacturing pedestal. It will take time, but lately they have been hitting it out of the park.

I implore all you Snipers to pay close attention to the SGA’s you receive this upcoming baseball season. Pay attention to the manufacturing label on the bottom of the base. The more attention all of you pay to who makes our bobbles, the quicker we can weed out the companies who produce poor products (and you Snipers know who they are already). All it takes is one poorly made bobble and the rest is history. Here’s the Success Promotions website to take a look at what they’re doing.

Over populated bobbleheads have become very annoying…

by | Jan 29, 2018 | Sniper Rants

Listen the best players in their respective sports get the most bobbleheads made of them. I get it. All fans get it. It’s a fact. But enough is enough after awhile. Lebron has a gazillion bobbleheads. SGA’s and both retail. The exclusive Lebron’s are getting way out of hand. Over saturating the market makes the value decrease dramatically. For example, if you’re a huge Lebron fan and you live in Ohio, how in the world can you collect over 35 bobbleheads of just Lebron? Keep in mind, once the King retires, companies will still manufacture bobbles of Lebron. Yes, he’s the greatest player in the world but I sure as fuck won’t collect every single one of his.

The same concept applies to Mike Trout, but even worse. The Angels themselves give out 3-5 bobbles of him per year! Then we have every single Minor League team that does a Trout. And lastly, the retails. Shop.MLB makes a piss load of bobbles of Trout and it’s getting stupid. Their most recent one is him walking with a stupid wagon. Over saturation is killing the passion of collecting!

Slowly, and I mean slowly, Kris Bryant is falling into this category with just to many bobbles made of him. Kobe Bryant and Steph Curry you can also add to the list. 

The bottom line is yes, these players are all great and will be future Hall of Famers. Enough is enough and player bobblehead collectibility will see a dramatic decrease in sales sooner rather than later. You heard it here first from the Bobblesniper.
