How to grow a bobblehead collection when you’re in high school or college
Over the past few years I've gotten a ton of questions asking how to start a bobblehead collecting if in High School or college. Many of us our grown adults who have jobs can afford bobbleheads but a lot of you young Snipers are still young bucks who don't have the scratch to buy bobbleheads. And that's okay. Being in High School or college you have so MANY opportunities that you...

What do you really expect to pay for an SGA Bobblehead?
Many people have very different views on what they should pay for a brand new SGA bobblehead. I think there's a big misconception that I have to address. I know the availability and rarity can factor into the price but there's one thing MANY don't realize. The person who goes to the game has to pay for the following 2 things. Ticket Parking I won't even factor in food or drink...
The biggest mistake you can do when trading/buying bobbleheads directly through PayPal
I'm writing this blog to not only inform you about trading and buying, but recently, I've had several Snipers that have gotten ripped off and it's intolerable.

The Dodgers are suing P2 Promotions for backing out of manufacturing Tommy Lasorda bobbleheads
So I got a bunch of messages from a ton of Snipers throughout the day regarding the Dodgers suing P2 Promotions for not delivering and or making the promised Tommy Lasorda bobbleheads being given away later this season.

Is it wrong to buy a bobble on Ebay then flip it back on Ebay for more money?
The majority of us buy bobbleheads on Ebay and cheer each other on when we "Snipe" for a great price. Whether you're buying to add it to your collection, giving it to a friend or flipping it to make profit, we all have our reasons. But is it fucked up to buy "low" on Ebay, receive the bobble, then list it on Ebay for double what you paid for?The reason I propose this question is...
How to Snipe Bobbleheads at a Game
How to Snipe Bobbleheads at any game. This blog is way overdue because I am constantly getting asked how to Snipe at games to obtain extra bobbleheads.

Is Mike Trout a Hall of Famer right now?
Is Mike Trout already a Hall of Famer? I know it’s early but….......he doesn’t have 3k hits (currently 1,185). He’s got only 239 Homeruns.

The Boston Red Sox season thus far…
Listen, I’m not one to gloat about my Red Sox because I know the ship could sink quickly in the playoffs. You can literally win 115 games during the regular season and get bounced the fuck out of the playoffs faster than you got in there. But this is a special team. Not because we are winning practically any game we play, but there’s no apparent weakness. Our hitting is tops in the...

When you score a bobble for your personal collection, does the value matter?
When you score a bobble for your personal collection, does the value matter? If you're keeping it, why would it matter? Unless your flipping it, the value shouldn't matter.

Why is the KC Royals mascot’s name spelled so fucking stupid?
Can someone tell me why the Royals mascot's name is spelled so dumb? According to the world wide fucking web called the internet, it's spelled "Sluggerrr", with 2 extra stupid r's. The proper and correct way to spell his name is Slugger according to me. Plain and simple. I know why management added the 2 extra r's at the end as they wanted to exaggerate the extra rrrrrrumble since...

Am I alone on this? Exit velocity…who gives a shit
The past 2 year ESPN talks a lot about "Exit Velocity" on television when someone hits a homerun. We all know that exit velocity measures the speed of the ball as it comes off the bat, but does it really matter how fast a baseball leaves the ballpark? Who gives a shit how hard a ball is hit. If you get the right pitch and slam the shit out of it, ya it's gonna go out fast. ESPN...

If the Dodgers, Yankees and Angels had a mascot, what would it be?
So I did some recon and for the record, the following three teams do not have a current active mascot. The Dodgers, Yankees and Angels are without a furry little fucker running around. Apparently, the Yankees had a mascot named "Dandy" from 1979-1981. He had a scruffy mustache similar to Thurman Munson and named after the "Yankee Doodle Dandy" folk song. He looks scary as fuck like...

Can Success Promotions go back to back with the SGA of the Year?
My first SGA manufacturer "Bobble of the Year" went to Success as they nailed the "Squints" Brooklyn Cyclones SGA bobble. It was perfect. Between the detail, lettering, and superb facial recognition, the Squints bobble was a no brainer. As we ease into the 2018 season of SGA's, can Success Promotions repeat? The biggest question we as collector's have, is we don't necessarily know...

Have you ever witnessed a fight at a bobblehead game?
We all know bobblehead games can get very feisty. I’ve been to games where there’s been a lot of pushing and shoving.

Do you throw your unwanted bobbleheads away?
