So it's symbolic. Maybe he never wore the jersey, but who cares. I'm excited for the different uniform on the bobble. The alternate will be cool as well.

Whoever came up with that promotion should be forced to wear varying colors of zubaz to work for the rest if their life. Imagine the humiliation... But they failed to mention the limited edition "Uecker wearing zubaz with ugly sweater" bobble you get with the package as well.

Poor little Chinese child forgets to paint the numbers blue and look at the ruckus he caused! I don't know that seller, but he always has bobbles for sale...he should know better this is just a mistake and not the "retro" he so strong heartedly believes exists.

I agree, there's a lot of "sour grapes" around, and I honestly think it all stems from that damn Bernie promotion that 95% of people who complained about knew nothing about before hand, but because it became hot press they joined the bandwagon of do-gooders and try to police others. I feel you can do with you want with the tickets ( and sorry for hijacking the thread, since I'm not interested in them either.)

I don't think the Polish is going to be for a couple of days yet.

Yeah it's a pattern...this years Polish was last years S'N'P bobble...last years Chorizo gnome was the year priors S'N'P bobble...so next year will be "Where's Hot Dog" since he's the S'N'P bobble this year.

Just sayin'...there was no notification of the Talking Braun before it appeared on gameday...

That's right, it's his next door neighbor :/

I love the half and half. Unfortunately I can't make the game so I'll be looking for both. Beware...there WILL be a bunch of schmuks trying to sell their "rare" powder blues on the bay, and some will fall for the bit thus driving up the price anyway...

My comment of the game...three drunk guys in awe of one guys "retro" bobblehead. "Dude, you should sell it on eBay...you can get like $400 for it." I've lost all ambition to educate these idiots, so I left with a smirk and a head shake.

Saw that stand, those jerseys looked nice. I didn't check the price, though, but interested to know what they're asking.

So I went to Tuesdays game and they had a stack of them near the exit with a "blue haired" female security guard. I inquired his many I could take, and she told me as many as I wanted. Not to be greedy I snatched 5, and a couple of towels they had there too. So I have extras if anyone needs them, otherwise I'm sure you can find them over the next few games if you're going to be at the park.

The box has a sticker. It's a plain white box otherwise, sponsor is stickers on the actual bobble as well, so there is definitely room for extras. Think Timber Rattlers boy bobbles without the Time Warner plaques...

Interested, please PM price or if you're open to trades.

Looks nice! Any extras?

Well be sure to get more and share the wealth, I'm looking for one.

Plus that jersey looks like a fricken moo-moo...

Yeah I think there's a guy from Green Bay who buys those tickets every year for the bobbles, lists them on eBay.

What $11 tickets?

And I'm also sure when he was asked after the first one was posted on eBsy he lied about it, saying it was his neighbor.

I know it's him, 100% sure.

He is the one selling them, and by bragging about it it's just that much more sour.

I think you'll find a flood of the Lucroys on eBay come the day after. The problem is the market is saturated in Wisconsin given all the bobbles the Brewers give out. There are many collectors out there, and this has driven the price of all bobbles down. Regular Brewers bobbles are a dime a dozen, and the days of $50-$100 for alternates are long gone, save for the rare very popular alternates like the T Plush, which was a true alternate with a different pose and all. I remember "back in the day" when I'd scurry around Miller Park trying to trade a regular for an alternate (since most people didn't care, but the ones who did knew they could "get $100 on eBay" like I was often told by people.). Now you wait a month and prices drop so fast, and collectors are getting wise to waiting if they don't get an alternate at the game, as I do. And I love that there are more collectors as more people who don't care about their free SGA are aware of the popularity bringing more to the market for sale, driving down prices. Now, with the Lucroy, I'd classify it as popular, but not necessarily hot (like the T Plush as a referenced earlier.). And given what happened last year with the opening day popularity you'll bet there'll be tons of people getting alternates to sell on eBay, thus driving down the price. I know I'll be there collecting extras for the $5 price tag it takes to get in if I can make the game. It's a great low key environment for a family to enjoy a ball game in a quiet city with friendly people...getting a bobble (especially one from AGP) is just icing on the cake!

Lucroy won't be hot or rare IMO. 1,000 in a bobble-rich region doesn't make it rare, and the prices will reflect that. Unless its a team USA bobble (which I doubt.). Like their "rehab" series a few years ago in which they only had 96 of each yet still had a hard time selling. Last years opening day series might spark more interest in this one, however, the nightmare of the re-release of these for holiday 4-packs killed interest in the off season (to some extent with the parade of "alternates" that collectors tried to make more collectible for their benefit when these were really just manufacture mistakes, leaving off plaques, stickers, etc.)

So...does anybody else get the feeling they're doing away with alternates? I know it's a mixed crowd with most approving of NO alternates (since its a hassle), and a debate on that is not the point of my post. Just observing...the Aoki would be the only one I could see with an alternate so far. I would've thought the Gomez as well, but posting the gold jersey Cerveceros jersey you'd think if anything that'd be the majority, and I highly doubt a white jersey would be the variant.
