Over the course of this baseball season, I was able to add 3 new Cardinals to my bobblehead collection. I do not have an exact count, but I am guessing I am getting close to 100 different ones. Wish I could display them all, but my case only holds about 25. Gives me a reason to rotate them out every now and then.
This Adam Wainwright was given out on June 11 at Busch Stadium. I did not attend the game myself. My brother was headed back to Colorado after my father's funeral and stopped in for a game. He brought it back with him a few weeks ago. This one will require a little work to straighten out the head, but nothing a hair dryer and a hot glue gun cannot fix.
The Peoria Chiefs gave out this Masyn Winn bobblehead on August 26. I was able to attend the game with my wife and son. I observed the ugly side of the bobblehead world that night. The Chiefs allow season ticket holders to get in 15 minutes earlier than the general public. I watched a family of 4 go through the gates 3 different times to get the bobblehead. The dad is a member of a Facebook group I belong to. He was selling them for $45 plus shipping. He paid no more than $12 for the tickets. Only 1,000 were given out. They were gone within 20 minutes of the gates opening to the general public.
