Brewers collections

BrewCrew from my inside sourceshttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I've heard that Billy will be coming to Jeff's Sports after spring training but before the baseball season gets into full swing, just a heads up.

[BrewCrewForever]

Thanks bhf. I will be there! Where is Jeff Sports?

[cweber39]

The signings are usually done at the Menomonee Falls stores. Here is their website www.jeffssports.com

 

They will typically make the anouncment for a signing a couple week in advance, and then you typically have to by tickets for the signing.

[billyhallfan]

go to www.jeffssports.com

 

It probably won't be announced till less than a week before, I have no idea when it will be though. They hold all of their signings at the Menomonee Falls location, I went to the Fielder, Hawk, Jennings and Joe Thomas ones there in the past, they do a nice job, IMO.

[billyhallfan]

I guess he beat me to it.

[BrewCrewForever]

Okay yeah, Ive heard of them. I had a friend who went to the Jennings and Hawk one. Well I hope it's soon. I will have to buy a sweet Hall 8x10 to get signed, any thoughts on best place to get one?

[billyhallfan]

wait until they announce it, they will or should have a nice selection, normally about 4 kinds, then you can just buy that whenever you buy your tickets.

Hmmm, an hour both ways for a Billy Hall Auto? I will have to think long and hard about that. Still, nice to know guys. Thanks.

Here's my collection. It's not as big as the others on here but I'm happy with it. I've only been collecting bobbleheads for about a year now. The other Brewers stuff I've had for awhile.

I'm obviously going to need another shelf after all the bobble games this season. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Thanks for looking.

[billyhallfan]

nice collection,

 

that Braves bobble is worth a whole crapload of money...

[MHgb]

Nice preliminary work on the bobblehead collection, CBFan, especially the two old ones. Is there a story behind them? Or did you buy them on eBay or something?

 

Also, is the Yount figure in the back a McFarlane?

No doubt. I saw three of them this weekend. The cheapest was $250! The other two were $300.

[Charlie Bell Fan]

Yeah, I actually got the 2 older ones from my late grandpa a couple years before he passed away. He was a hardcore Brewers fan who I went to alot of games with so they mean alot to me. It sucks that he passed away before the 2005 season started and didnt get to see us have a good season going 81-81.

 

And that Yount figure is actually a Starting Line-Up. It was a special edition bigger than the average ones. I got it on ebay for like 10 shipped.

Here is a link to one that's on ebay now. cgi.ebay.com/NICE-2001-CO...dZViewItem

Yay for discovering that an old plastic figure that was given to me a few years back from a family friend for nothing after the passing of an elderly relative is actually a genuine Hank Aaron Hartland statue from the 50s.

 

I had been thinking it was just a plastic toy that was worth little or nothing.

 

I hope to post some pictures from my collection at some point.

 

EDIT: Hank is front and center (an example of what I'm talking about, not my actual one):

Here's my apartment version of my bobblehead collection. Once I buy a house (this year, hopefully), I'm going to build some sort of shelving system protected by glass so I never have to dust again. (Or very rarely).

 

And here's a little plug for the ones I want yet:

 

Yount Coach

Yount Rookie

Blue Molitor

Retro Miller

Mr. 3000

Mini Weeks

Mini Hall

Mini Capuano

All Bernie Birthday bobbles

And a bunch of Minor League ones.

 

I have plenty to trade. PM in interested.

Yeah, I'd be pretty excited about that, too! (the Hartland figure, not the relative, obviously).

 

And thanks, CBfan.

[tnweill]

^^ I'm jealous... not because Don Money signed it, but because he has the Snapper's decal on his hat, mine does not! Seriously, that's a nice find. I think I paid $50 for mine which was unsigned.

[jason21nl]

added this tonight at the Timber Rattlers game...i also posted it in another thread about the Timber Rattlers..Sandberg was nice, I got to shake his hand and he added HOF without me asking.

[billyhallfan]

I hope he is that nice in Beloit to me...

[MHgb]

Now usually it's not too hard to make out who signed a baseball, but I could not tell who signed that without reading your post.

 

Nice work though on the auto.

[PeaveyFury]

Wow, no kidding. I have no idea how you get Ryne Sandberg out of that sig.... and it's not like it's just a squiggly line.

[jason21nl]

haha, no kidding..i had to go online and match it with a few other of his autograph to make sure it was his...no clue how you get ryan sandber out of that

[cweber39]

anyone else???
