Bill Hall running track outfit bobblehead any info on this?

[zachlaka]

Got this bobblehead of ebay and it came in the mail today.

 

The seller was told by an inside source that there could be less than 200 of these made.

 

It shows Hall in hs running track outfit he wore during sprints in sppring training 2007.

 

Any way to find out more about this bobble and who these were given to?

That is bizarre. If I can ask, how much did you pay for that?

[zachlaka]

Not bad. That thing is sweet man, nice find. I wish someone had pointed that out, I definitely would've tried to get one.

Yea it is cool looking though there is a slight crack on the back of leg connected to the base. Edited October 9, 2007 by zachlaka

I think that's Chris Webber.http://www.hoopsvibe.com/IMG/chris_webber-arton21240-240x240.jpg

Wow. I never heard of this bobble before. Very cool.

[billyhallfan]

i don't believe that is a real bobblehead, though I could be wrong, some people are able to take bobble parts and make new bobbles all together. I know Jason "bigjase" has taken bobbles of players like Estrada when he was with the D'backs and he made it into a Brewers one, I could be wrong, but that is very interesting.

[zachlaka]

I also thought that too BHF. I wmailed the guy asking for anymore info on this. If it is a fake they did a ok job IMO the name on the base looks really good though other parts of the bobble are not so clean looking.

 

The spring is a little thicker than other bobbles giving him less bobble movement and one of his arms looks on the back looks like one you would see on a Muscular System diagram as if they never smoothed it out and just painted over it.

 

I still like it whether it is fake or real.

Looks like a fake to me

I Saw one for sale at the memorabillia stand in Mayfair mall, but now that stand is gone. I wish i would have picked it up.

[cweber39]

Where is the memoribila stand at Mayfair?

[Houlie24x]

The bobblehead is real. I don't know what the Brewers plan on doing with them though.

 

The memorabilia stand at Mayfair was part owned by Jeff's Sportscards and I believe they have opened up a store there all together. The stand is gone.

[zachlaka]

Thanks for the info guys glad it is real http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

I was at mayfair about 2 weeks ago and saw the stand there when did it close?

[Houlie24x]

I think it closed this week sometime. It didn't really close though because they already have or are getting a full store in the mall somewhere.

[zachlaka]

I see thanks for the info I don't live in Milwaukee so I only got o Mayfair like twice a year.

[cweber39]

I was there last Saturday, and Jeff's store was not open yet, they were still getting it ready. It is the old Things Remembered store they are taking over.

Yeah that looks like a fake. Still cool, but it's not a official Hall bobble of any sort.

[Houlie24x]

That Hall bobblehead is real, I guarantee it. The Brewers have a few cases of them, but I have no idea what they are doing with them.

[BrewCrewForever]

That Hall bobblehead is real, I guarantee it. The Brewers have a few cases of them, but I have no idea what they are doing with them.

If I may ask, how do you know for a fact it is real?

 

[Houlie24x]

I know a guy that works at Miller Park. He showed it to me a week ago.

[Tailgat0r76]

Yeah that looks like a fake. Still cool, but it's not a official Hall bobble of any sort.

And how are you so sure it isn't real?

[zachlaka]

Thanks Houlie24x for the info.

 

It would be cool if someone at MP would let me exchange mine for one that doesn't have a crack in the leg?

 

Lolz that would make my week. Too bad I have trouble just on regular bobblehead games trying to get my bobblehead problems fixed. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[billyhallfan]

i wonder if it will be some sort of season ticket promo?

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah that looks like a fake. Still cool, but it's not a official Hall bobble of any sort.

And how are you so sure it isn't real?

Im not, Im going off what I think. Im not stating that I can guarantee it. If he says its real and knows a guy at MP then fine I believe him.
