Bobblehead dolls may be considered silly by some, but there is definitely a national craze to collect them. Whether it is of a famous personality, sports hero, or even a cartoon character, these fun collectibles can be found just about anywhere. While the garden variety bobbleheads are not really all that valuable, there are a few out there that will actually be worth quite a bit of money. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the diamonds in the rough.
1. Mickey Mantle Bobbleheads
These are perhaps the most sought after bobbleheads, and they are incredibly valuable. Look for the ones that were produced during 1961, when Mantle was going up against Marris. These were once sold for a mere dollar, but now can bring ten times that amount at auction, or even more. It’s rare to find one that is still in good condition, but flea markets and online auctions are a great place to start. Look for Mickey Mantle bobbleheads that don’t have any cracks in the finish and that are still generally in great condition. These will be the most valuable.
2. Secretariat Bobblehead
Although you wouldn’t think of a horse as being the prime candidate for immortalization as a bobblehead, the Secretariat dolls are incredibly collectible. These were produced during the horse’s quest for the Triple Crown, and since he holds such a high place in horse history and in the hearts of race fans everywhere, these dolls are actually highly sought after. Look for one that still has all the original paint and bright colors and you may just find one that is worth more than $850.
3. Cal Ripken Jr Bobblehead
Not all Cal Ripken Jr bobbleheads are worth money, so you’re going to want to keep your eyes open for the ones that were produced in 2001, when he was awarded game MVP. This doll will have an All Stars label as well as the number of the collectible. Only 2001 of these bobbleheads were produced, so finding one for sale won’t be easy. Once again, look for these at online auction sites, flea markets or even yard sales. You never know, you may just stumble on one of these highly collectible bobbleheads.
4. Disney Sports Bobbleheads
If you can find older Disney sports bobbleheads, they are usually worth a pretty penny, especially to someone that collects Disney memorabilia. These are easy enough to find if you hang around flea markets or go garage sale shopping. Most may not know just how valuable these dolls are, especially if they happen to have one of the prototype models from specific companies.
5. Commemorative Bobbleheads
A good rule of thumb to follow is that if a bobblehead is commemorating a specific event, such as a World Series win, or something in sports history, chances are it’s going to be pretty valuable. Always look for the ones that are part of a limited edition since they will definitely be worth the most amount of money and can sell for thousands at auction.
