Does anyone here collect bobbleheads? I have a few of players I like but not too many. I pretty much only collect favorite players but don't really consider myself a big collector.

So far I have Grady Sizemore, Andrew McCutchen, Zack Greinke, Tim Hudson (I forget how I got this one), Donovan McNabb (which someone gave to me) and a Dwight Schrute bobblehead from The Office. I also have a couple of minor league bobbleheads including Jason Heyward with the Gwinnett Braves.

I have a couple including Roger Clemens (no syringe)

I really have a varied memorabilia collection, common stuff like balls and cards, but also an unopened bottle of Dr Pepper commemorating the opening of the Ballpark at Arlington back in 1994, a china plate of Ty Cobb rounding third (Had a Rogers Hornsby too but I dropped it), and a Jack Johnson / James Jeffries fight poster among other things.

The Bobbleheads were gifts, don't know if I will get any more.

I've got a few I've kept in the boxes and have them put away. I know I have an Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin, Novacek, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Kerry Wood....maybe a few others. I don't buy them any more.

I have about 80 and yes I collect. Mainly Chicago players, but I have some unique ones from other teams. Mixture of retail ones and stadium giveaways.

My most rare ones are a Derrick Rose All-Star bobblehead that is autographed by him and comes in a cool wood case. I won it at a Bulls charity auction and it appears they only made a few hundred as specials for the organization. The other is a Joakim Noah draft day bobblehead that I've never seen anywhere else (my brother got it as a gift for me at a game I gave him and his GF tickets for).

It's amazing what you can find bobbleheads for on Ebay. I've sort of shifted toward finding unique ones over favorite players. I'd also add that it's a really cool and affordable hobby if you don't get carried away. You can find a lot of stuff in the $20-$30 range.

I have a small collection. Before-and-after Viewtiful Joe, Link, couple of Dodgers (Don Drysdale, Russell Martin, Manny Ramirez).

I wanted Vault Boy a couple years ago, but couldn't afford the LE Fallout 3.
