First Look: Kirk Gibson Bobblehead

Pic via @Dodgers Twitter feed

The Dodgers have released images of the Kirk Gibson bobblehead. Not only does the head bobble, but the arm does as well, moving just like Gibby's arm did when he rounded the bases after his walk-off homerun in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. Like every other bobblehead this year, this one has the gold base and is very detailed. It looks just like Kirk Gibson.


I think this is a genius idea. Finally, something a little different than the normal bobbles. I can't help but think of all the problems this one may have though. We could see many with broken arms.  


What do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea?

Trading With The Snorting Bull

I just completed my fourth trade with Eric from the Snorting Bull. Eric seems to be a Matt Kemp magnet. Every time he gets a new one, he dangles it out there for me to drool over. This newest Kemp is of the Topps Marquee variety, a quad jersey numbered to 199. One piece of jersey has a beautiful blue stripe in it  making it more appealing to me. I had to have it.

The other card Eric offered was a Dee Gordon  jersey numbered to 199. Believe it or not, I don't have one single Dee Gordon game-used piece. This one is a jumbo red piece of jersey from the 2010 All-Star Futures game. 


Now, I love the two jersey cards up there, but as an autograph collector, I'm always looking for new Dodger autos to add to the collection. Eric had a few I needed, so we got those into the deal as well.

Thanks for the trade Eric! Click here to see what I sent to the Snorting Bull.

The Great Infield Bobblehead Night

Once again I'm a little late on the bobblehead night recap. I'm not sure why, but I'm getting lazier and lazier every time I go to Dodger Stadium. I bring the camera, but I don't feel like taking pictures.  Maybe it's because I'm tired from work, I dunno. 


Anyway, the Dodgers honored the great infield of Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Bill Russell and Davey Lopes with a mini quad bobblehead on Tuesday, May 29.  Just like the first two bobbleheads before it, this one looks amazing. I've got to praise the artist on this one because the details are nearly perfect. All four bobbles look like the actual player. 

Before the game started, I was getting autographs along with many other Dodger fans. Steve Garvey and Bill Russell were both signing. There were a lot of people waving the bobblehead at them both, and I saw them signing the bottom of the base. I'm not really sure where people expect the guys to sign this bobblehead because it's so small. And that's probably my only complaint about this bobblehead, the size. I really wish they made it a little bigger.

Trade With All The Way To The Backstop

A few weeks back, Marcus from All The Way To The Backstop posted an Allen Webster autograph he pulled from a pack of 2012 Bowman. I needed Webster for my Dodger prospect auto collection, so I hit Marcus up about a trade and we quickly worked something out. 


Marcus also sent me a nice stack of Dodger cards. A lot of them were new to my collection.

First Look: Eric Karros Bobblehead

Via @Dodgers Twitter feed

I know I'm a little late on this one, but the Dodgers released pictures of the upcoming Eric Karros bobblehead yesterday. Presented by Pizza Hut, the Dodgers will be giving these away on Thursday, June 28 when the Dodgers play the New York Mets.


Just like all the other 2012 bobbleheads, this one is very detailed. But I think this one looks the least like the actual player. What do you guys think? Does this look like Karros?
