Bobble of the Day Madison Bumgarner
Bobble of the Day Player: Madison Bumgarner Team: San Francisco Giants Year: 2012 SGA Manufacturer: Alexander Global Promotions (AGP) The Giants handed out this Madbum SGA back in 2012. We all know how good Madbum is. He's legit. Seems like every single year this dude's got an E.R.A under 2.00. I think all would agree that Bumgarner is slightly under Kershaw as the best in the bigs. That...
Bobble of the Day Shooter McGavin
Bobble of the Day Player: Shooter McGavin Team: Akron Rubber Ducks Year: 2016 SGA Manufacturer: Destroyer Promotional Products You eat pieces of shit for breakfast? Happy Gilmore is a fucking classic movie. If you haven't seen it you're better off slamming your dick in a door. One of the all time best comedies. The Rubber Ducks did it right. Christopher McDonald was even there to sign...
Bobble of the Day Southpaw “Star Wars”
Bobble of the Day Mascot: Southpaw Team: Chicago White Sox Year: 2106 Theme: Star Wars Night Manufacturer: Alexander Global Productions (AGP) So I've been waiting to do a Star Wars "Bobble of the Day" as I have a bunch of them. I got this one in the mail a few days ago so I figured since it's a new one let's give it a go. I have to admit that I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan so my explanation...
Bobble of the Day Jennie Finch
Bobble of the Day Player: Jennie Finch Team: San Francisco Giants Year: 2010 SGA Manufacturer: Alexander Global Productions (AGP) I like how the Giants did a bobble giveaway for Jennie. She is the best all-time softball player on the face of the Earth. Let alone the fact that she's a certified bombshell, this a cool bobble. Given out during the 2010 season, this was a sure fire hit amongst the...
Bobble of the Day Ted Williams
Bobble of the Day Player: Ted Williams 1949 MVP Team: Boston Red Sox Year: 2007 Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles FOCO came out with a series of Ted Williams bobbles that have various bronze bases. To collect the whole set is very difficult and super expensive. Most are numbered to 5009. I really like this one. It's a 9" bobble that has Teddy ball game throwing as he was the MVP of the 1949...
Bobble of the Day Cole Hamels
Bobble of the Day Player: Cole Hamels Team: Philadelphia Phillies Year: 2008 Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles I'm not a huge fan of the Phillies. I can go on and on but I'm sure the Philly fans won't appreciate my hostility towards this franchise or their fans. I do like this set of the 08 World Series champs however. They are expensive and to complete the whole set is very difficult. I...
Bobble of the Day Ken Griffey Jr. SGA
Bobble of the Day Player: Ken Griffey Jr. Team: Seattle Mariners Year: 2010 The '95 Slide SGA Manufacturer: BD&a I looked through the gazillion Griffey bobbles I own and it was tough to pick one out to do a blog on. I decided to go with "The Slide" when Griffey scored on Edgar Martinez' double vs the Yankees in the 1995 playoffs. Mariner nation claims it's the most historic play in...
Bobble of the Day Cam Newton “The Dab”
Bobble of the Day Player: Cam Newton "Dab" Team: Carolina Panthers Year: 2016 Manufactuer: Forever Collectibles So the Bobblehead Hall of Fame over in Wisconsin came up with the Cam "Dab" Bobble. I was fortunate enough that my bro Phil Sklar hooked me up with one. It's a great idea. The "Dab" has gone viral the past two years that Cam himself invented. You can see Cam demonstrate his signature...
Bobble of the Day Chipper Jones
Bobble of the Day Player: Chipper Jones Team: Richmond Braves Year: 2002 SGA Manufacturer: ? The Richmond Braves are a farm system team for the Atlanta Braves. We all know Chipper made his Hall of Fame career on the Braves. Although he was never well liked throughout the league he did put up solid numbers to make him a Hall of Famer. For what ever reason this Minor League bobble is quite rare....
Bobble of the Day Corey Seager
Bobble of the Day Player: Corey Seager Team: Rancho Cucamonga Quakes Year: 2016 Manufacturer: Promotional Adventures The new young face of the game of baseball lies within Corey Seager (as well as Mookie Betts). This kid can do it all and is well on his way to winning the Rookie of the Year Award in the National League. The Rancho Quakes have been on top of the minor league pedestal for...
Bobble of the Day Bryce Harper
Bobble of the Day Player: Bryce Harper Team: Washington Nationals Year: 2016 Manufacturer: BD&A Harper won the MVP last season (2015) and dominated the game of baseball. His numbers were astronomical. Batting Average: .330 HR’s: 32 Hits: 172 RBI’s: 99 Runs Scored: 118 This SGA is as fresh as they come. I love how Harper’s giving the 3 fingers up after hitting a bomb as he's running back to...

Bobble of the Day Ivan Rodriguez
Bobble of the Day Player: Ivan (Pudge) Rodriguez Team: Florida Marlins Year: 2003 Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles I love Pudge. I think he's been the best all around catcher that I've seen in my generation. His legs are the size of fucking tree trunks and he's built like a brick shithouse. That's why he was so durable for many years. I loved when the Marlins beat the Yankees to win the World...
Bobble of the Day-Manny Ramirez
Bobble of the Day Player: Manny Ramirez Team: Los Angeles Dodgers Year: 2009 Manufactuer: P2 P Squared You'd think being a Red Sox fan I would do a Boston Bobble of the Day on Manny but no. This LA Dodger one seals the deal for me. Even though this bobble depicts Manny hitting a grand slam into the left field bleachers I was happy for him. And that's why I got the bobble. As a pinch hitter Manny...
SGA vs. Retail Who Wins?
SGA vs Retail Bobblehead. Who wins? So the ongoing debate that many collectors have is what is better? A stadium giveaway (SGA) bobblehead or a retail bobblehead? Typically, the first 15,000 or 25,000 people to enter the gate at a ball game get a bobble as a free giveaway. The Giants, Mets, Dodgers and Red Sox for example have been doing some really cool bobble giveaways the past few years....
Bobble of the Day-Reggie Jackson
Bobble of the Day Player: Reggie Jackson Team: Oakland Athletics Year: 2103 SGA Manufacturer: BD&A I love this Reggie for mainly one reason only. The colors. They pop. They are bright. They are attractive to the eye. It stands out. I feel like if you are a legit collector and you don't have this one you may be an asshole. I don't even care if you're a Reggie Jackson fan or not. BD&A...
Bobble of the Day- Mike Piazza
Bobble of the Day Player: Mike Piazza Team: New York Mets Year: 2002 Manufacturer: AGP You know my opinion about Alexander Global Production (AGP) Bobbleheads already. They all in this particular year have the same stance, body and face. Blah, blah, blah. This review is more about the sponsor and box. Just about every SGA that the Mets give away is sponsored by Gold's Horseradish. I myself do...
Bobble of the Day-George H.W. Bush
Bobble of the Day Player: George H. W. Bush Team: Yale University (Bulldogs)- Bridgeport Bluefish Year: 2015 SGA Manufacturer: ? Who knew George H. W. Bush (former president of the United States) played college baseball? I sure as fuck didn't. The Bluefish came out in 2015 with a George Bush Yale Bulldogs Bobblehead for the first 500 fans in attendance. Bush played in the first ever College...
Stereotypes of Bobbleheads
Stereotypes of Bobbleheads (That is not me in the picture) Bobbleheads have an overwhelming negative stereotype, especially if you're an adult that collects them. It's not about these corny little bobbleheads. It's about something you are passionate about. It doesn't matter if you're into collecting knives, guns, hats, sneakers, art paintings, cars, recipes or bobbleheads. It's what makes you...
Bobble of the Day-Mr. Redlegs
Bobble of the Day Mascot: Mr. Redlegs 2016 Opening Day Team: Cincinnati Reds Year: 2016 Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles First of all, this is the 1st ever Mascot Bobble of the Day review. Secondly, Mr. Redlegs is one of the most underrated Mascot's in Major League Baseball. Period. "Mr. Red" first appeared in 1955 on the Reds uniform sleeves as a "patch". As years went on the Reds adopted 2...
Is anyone else sick of this Ryan Lochte ass pipe?
Who else is tired of hearing about Ryan Lochte? We've all seen the news about him lying to Matt Lauer on the Today's Show. How he made immature decisions and he's sorry for all of the negative attention he's caused not only to USA but all of the American Olympians. He tells Lauer on national television that he "over exaggerated" what happened that night? blah blah blah....save it Ryan. Here's...
Bobble of the Day-Fernando Valenzuela
Bobble of the Day Player: Fernando Valenzuela Team: Los Angeles Dodgers Year: 2011 SGA Manufacturer: ? Love what the Dodgers did in 2011 with this Valenzuela bobble as a giveaway. The detail in this one is epic. On September 17th 1981, Fernando Valenzuela threw his 8th shutout of the season and set a new National League record. Fans loved Fernando's whacky delivery and "Fernandomania" swept...
Watney, Dell, Czarniak Who ya got?
Who takes the cake in Bobble world and in life? Heidi Watney, Jenny Dell or Lindsay Czarniak? The Lowell Spinners (Minor League affiliate of the Red Sox) honored Heidi Watney on August 1st, 2010 with her own personalized Bobblehead. The first 1,000 in the gate received one. Heidi Watney was first on the scene as she worked for NESN who covered the Red Sox from 2008-2011. She was awesome....
Is having a Bobblehead collection weird or cool?
Is collecting Bobbleheads weird or cool? First things first. Bobbleheads are fucking cool. Anyone that tells you that they are weird or stupid is an asshole. You cannot imagine the amount of times people look at me weird and go dead silent when I tell them I have a huge Bobble collection. Not just because I've built an empire and I collect them, but they really are something to talk about....
That feeling you get when………
You win an auction for a bobble on Ebay!!! I'm telling you, there's nothing better than sniping that bobble you wanted from some slapdick on the other end. I've seen it all. 3 day, 5 day, 7 day and 10 day auctions. You name it. You've been watching it all week, checking your tablet or smartphone while you're taking a shit or stuck in traffic to see if the bids keep going up. You know everyone...

Once the Sox won the title in 2013, many...
The Mystery of Forever Collectibles
The Mystery of Forever Collectibles Forever Collectibles makes awesome Bobbles. I've been buying them for years. Let's start off by saying their website sucks a big dick. forevercollectibles.com is awful. I haven't been able to open it for years. Literally. It freezes and never loads. FOCO doesn't even have a master list of all their bobbles they have produced starting 12-15 years ago. The...
