Bobblehead Of The Day: Vladimir Guerrero

The World Series begins tonight in San Francisco as the Giants take on the Texas Rangers. I'd love to see this Rangers team sweep the series. One of my favorite players on the Rangers is Vladimir Guerrero. He's been one of my favorite players for a while now. He's a beast with the bat, and he'll swing that bat at damn near any pitch.

One of my favorite bobbleheads in my collection is my Anaheim Angels Vladimir Guerrero. I got this back on May 16, 2006. The bobblehead commemorates Vladdy winning the Silver Slugger Award in 2005. Presented by Suzuki, this bobble was made by BD&A Collectibles and was given away to all fans in attendance.

This bobble's got some nice details, from the silver bat Vladdy's swinging to the pine tar stained helmet he's wearing.

I had two of these bobbleheads. Back in July, I traded one of the two to Ryan at The Great Orioles Autograph Project. He sent me a Cal Ripken bobblehead in return. I'd say it was a good trade.

Hopefully, Vlad has a good series. I'll give the pinetar covered helmet a little bobble for good luck.

Go Rangers!

Trading Bobbleheads

Since I began writing this blog back in March, many people have asked me if I was interested in trading bobbleheads. Most of those people have been Dodger fans who want to trade their stadium giveaway bobbleheads. I have to tell them that I have all the SGA bobbles from Dodger Stadium.

For the last week or so, I have been in contact with Ryan over at The Great Orioles Autograph Project, and we decided to make a bobblehead trade. After going through the lists of each others bobblehead doubles, I decided on his Cal Ripken 1983 World Series Edition bobblehead. He took my Vladimir Guerrero Silver Slugger bobblehead.

Let's take a look:

I want to thank Ryan for making the trade. You can check out his amazing blog here. If anyone is interested in making a trade, you can contact me at dodgerbobble@yahoo.com. I am interested in SGA bobbleheads and nodders from the 60's and 70's.
