I mentioned in yesterday's post that it was National Bobblehead Day. I am an avid collector, with over 100 of them in my collection. All but five are of the Cardinals variety. The others are the 1989 Illinois Flying Illini basketball team.
I do not pursue everyone I see. I like to pick and choose the ones that look great or are of an older player I do not have. Of course, I do have some favorites.
These are the only 2 Lankford bobbleheads I know of. The top one was given at Busch Stadium on August 28, 2018. It required a special ticket. I am unsure how many were given out, but they are hard to find now. I traded for this one a few years ago. The bottom one was given out at Springfield Lucky Horshoes game on July 23, 2023. I way overpaid for this one. It was advertised as being given out to the first 500 people. With a limited quantity, I bought one a week after the game. They are still available from the team's website for about half of what I paid.
My favorite non-Lankford bobblehead is the one given out at Busch Stadium on September 14, 2019. Any time you can get two all-time greats on one bobblehead is a major win.
