August Vintage Bobbleheads Purchase

This months' bobblehead purchase included only four dolls, but they were pretty expensive ones.

The most expensive one, which shattered my record for the most spent on a single bobblehead by about 4x, was the non-moonface, "Minneapolis" Twins mini version.  A small number of these mini bobbleheads, with a magnet on the bottom to stick to your metal dashboard, were printed with the word "Minneapolis" instead of "Minnesota".  It was quickly corrected and the vast majority were released as the Minnesota version.


I bought two dolls on green square bases, which were made during a transition period between the white, square base version and the green, round base version.  Only nine teams had their nodders released on these bases.  The Senators and Twins are two of those teams.



Finally, I added my first African-American bobblehead to my collection with this very nice Senators version.
