01 Popeye The
Sailor Bobbing Head Rare Gem MB $2500 One
of the rarest and most sought after of all the vintage bobbing
heads. I've only seen a handful of these in the 30+ years I've
been in the hobby. He looks beautiful on display with bright
glossy colors. The decal is strong with just a small miss to the
first E. He has had some cracks professionally fixed up, if you
look close you might be able to tell however it's such a rarity
that finding one at all is a bonus. Looks good.

Chicago Bears GoGoGo for Falstaff Nodder Only 2 Known Gem NrMt+ MB
$500
Wow!
Back in August I offered a rare LA Rams Falstaff advertising doll,
now I'm able to offer the equally rare Chicago Bears example. I've
been in the hobby since the early 80's and this is only the 2nd
example of this doll that I've ever seen. He's all original and in
great condition with strong colors and gloss and super decals.
Only flaws are a micro hairline in rear, a nick under the right
side of head rim and a light surface scrape to top of helmet.
Displays beautifully and don't expect to see another one anytime
soon, if ever.$2640 03

hairline through the chinstrap on the left side which you have to
search for. When I put my light on it I found some scattered areas
of professional restoration but it's fairly minor and you would
need a black light to notice. Super doll that looks gem minty and
is very scarce.$436 05
Boston Red Sox Black Player Gem NrMt+ MB $500 Another very
tough doll from the Black Player set. Bright colors with nice

very tough doll from the very first football set, the 1960 Wood
Base set. This is the first run Rams doll with the old school Gold
jerseys (they had actually switched to blue jerseys in 1957 but I
guess someone in bobbing head production didn't get the message,
lol), All further Rams dolls were blue so these are a nice rarity.

Notre Dame Type 4 Toes Up Scarce Gem ExMt MB $160
A
very rare doll, probably the toughest Fighting Irish example and
only the 2nd one that I've been able to get a hold of in the last
5 years. This is the Type 4 College style (bullet shaped head,
ball horizontal on a colored base) which were only issued for a
couple of dozen schools. Super colors and gloss and just about
perfect decals throughout. A small chip under the left side of the
head rim is well hidden and the only flaw.
$211
34
Notre Dame Square Base Shamrock Tough Gem MB $180 If the Notre
Dame Type 4 isn't the hardest to find Irish doll, then this one
is. I believe it's only the 5th one I've had and the first in
almost 9 years! It looks beautiful with sharp paint and solid
colors and gloss. Decals are also strong all around. It looks
original but I believe the gold paint has been fixed up, it's hard
to see even with a black light. Otherwise he's all original and
the only flaw is a tiny micro hairline to the rim that you really
have to search for. Tough doll that looks great.$351

bolts are strong, helmet stripe has some light wear. A chip to
rear rim, a touch up to the base and some surface dings to the
side helmet are the flaws.

CFL dolls are extremely difficult to find. This is the Ticats

all original Green Base doll. This features the Yankees in

has become one of the hardest to find baseball dolls out there,

to right side and a small circular area around cap button that
lacks shellac. Although the decals are spotty (which is normally
the case with this doll) they include the neat #24 on his back (I
believe that this Gold Base Mays and the Dodgers #32 dolls are the

Auction
01 Rare JFK
and Jackie Mechanical Kissers Never Seen Before Wow MB $750
Wow,
just when I thought I'd seen 'em all.. Here is a motorized "Kiss'n
Sweethearts" featuring JFK and Jackie. Jackie is on a
motorized base and rotates around until she kisses Jack. Possibly
one of a kind, never seen anything like it and probably won't
again.
The
base and logo are in nice shape with just some typical marks and
small scratches. The heads had a few dings in them from the
kissing action, I've had them professionally restored to minty
like condition, body is all original (the winner should probably
limit the number of times they use it to protect them). The Jack
and Jackie decals are in good shape although the gold coloring on
a green base is hard to see (typical on the JFK kissers).
I've
included a link to a video so you can see them in action, you can
cut and paste it if necessary:

would be a major highlight of any collection out there, good luck!

The
first run of Colt 45 White Base dolls were made with their Sunday

A
very scarce doll, I've only seen this one a few times over the
years and it's only the 3rd one I've had for auction. It's the
1965 Gold Base body with a head similar to a Type 2 Toes Up doll.
They did not make a Rams Type 2 so it's not just a head switch,
it's unique to the Rams it may have been a special order from the
team. Looks super with gem colors and gloss and strong decals and
horns (just tiny misses to M on chest and LO on base). All
original with no cracks or hairlines. Box with sticker is nice. A

teal decal variation (the standard Gull has light blue pants and

incidental stray pin point nick or two. About as nice as you can
find. Box has some heavy wear as you can see, plastic is missing

Many

amount. Here
you can get 3 of the 5 players in the set. All of the dolls are
bright and colorful and look minty on the shelf. The Babe is mint.
So is Shoeless Joe but for one tiny nick under the rim. Honus has

33 New York Knicks Bank Gem NrMt+ in Box MB $60 This is a
gorgeous doll and if you ask me it's very under rated and
undervalued. It was made in the late 60's/early 70's and stands
about 10" tall and is very colorful. A quantity of these were

they were quite plentiful, they've really dried up lately, haven't

with super colors and gloss and perfect logos. Body has some very
light crazing throughout which is common on this doll and doesn't
detract at all. Looks great.

much. Nice doll. $80

hidden touch ups to her hair. He's solid too with just a small
circular spot missing shellac on the top of his head, which
probably happened while he was packed in his box. Both look minty
on the shelf.$30

others) and all are super tough to find. This one's gorgeous with
shiny colors and gloss. Base decal is strong although a bit
crooked at the end, helmet decals are complete with just a slight
color fade. Rest of the logos are painted on which happened
frequently with the Type 4's. He's had some nicks and cracks

1961-63 AFL Toes Up set. Gorgeous colors and gloss with super

larger bank version with the blue hat and it rarely shows up, I
think this is only the 3rd or 4th one that I've ever had. He's in

tough doll from the scarce 1963-64 Square Gold Base set. This one
has nice, bright colors and gloss with solid logos. Some tiny
hairlines and light wear to the head rim is well hidden and minor.
Only other flaw is a spray of tiny white dots, mostly to the
helmet, probably from paint spray. They aren't really distracting
as they blend in pretty well on display and look worse in the pix
than they really are. Still a very nice looking doll that is hard
to come by.

Poll Parrot Shoes
Advertising
Nodder NrMt MB $280
Sold
this in auction a couple of months ago, one of the rare occasions
where a bidder disappeared after he one the doll and never paid.

doll, this is Big Tex which was and still is the mascot of the
Texas State Fair. Great doll with super coloring and like new
gloss. Super decal. He's all original (the left arm is glued on

and routinely fell off). Only flaws are a couple of nicks under
the head rim and a faint hairline to his chin that blends in well.
A great looking example.$132 37
Nugget Casino Advertising Nodder Gem ExMt MB $50 Bright and
colorful advertising mascot for Dick Graves Nugget Casino in

(covered by the beard) and two paint flakes in rear are the
flaws.$81 38

detract much. Looks good.
$77 39
Suzy Smart Teacher With Handtag Rare ExMt MB $140 One of a set

find from the 1970-72 Wedge Base set. The Astros came with either
a blue or orange hat, both fairly hard to come by. This one is a
beauty with gem colors and gloss. Decals have some misses but look
pretty good overall. No chips or cracks but my black light picked
up some professional restoration to the head rim and shoulder.
Looks minty. 47 Boston Red Sox Oddball Nodder MB $40 Don't
know what to make of this neat little (5") Red Sox nodder.
I've seen this early 60's mold before but not with logos. Not sure
it's original but it is neat. A bit rough with toning and rim wear
but still displays very nicely. Paint on the hat has been touched
up. 48 Houston Astros Pale Face Gold Base NrMt MB $80 This
was a team ordered doll, commonly referred to as the "pale
face" Astro as the facial coloring was usually quite light.
These dolls were generally poorly made and are always found with
paint and mold flaws. This one has only minor issues in that
regard and no cracks or chips. Coloring is very good for this doll
and the decals are too.$88
49
San Francisco Giants 1960 Buddyflex Nodder Ex+ MB $50 One of
the first dolls made. This is the hard rubber example produced by
Buddy Flex in early 1960, part of a 5 doll set that includes the
Braves, Dodgers, Giants, White Sox and Pirates. This set looks to
be the prototype for the short lived 1960 Wood Base set which only
featured a few dolls before it was replaced by the Color Base set.
It's in very nice shape with no major nicks or scrapes. Main
problem here is some natural darkening which is very common with
these.$94 50
Cleveland Indians 1973 Taiwan Yellow Uniform NrMt MB $80 This
is the tough to find Indians example from 1973 with the Yellow
uniform. Indians dolls from this set came in 2 styles, elbows out

usually plague this doll. Decals are good with just a bit of
peeling. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer example.

gloss throughout. Embossed logos are strong and the lions helmet
decals are too which is very tough to find on any Lion. No cracks
or hairlines anywhere (any white specks you see are from camera
glare). Only flaws are very small paint scrapes to the gray paint
on either side of the helmet, they blend in well and don't amount
to much. Don't hold your breath for another anytime soon.

minor and hidden. Otherwise mint and a beauty. $308 08

Rare Chicago Bulls 1973 Taiwan Doll Never Seen Wow Gem NrMt MB
$120 Just when i thought I'd seen it all.. wow, what a neat
find this is! It's from the short lived 1973 Taiwan Basketball set
which until now featured only the Trailbazers and Supersonics
models. This one has embossed logos, NBA on the base, Bulls on the
chest and even the shoelaces are embossed. Never seen one before,
it was either a prototype for a proposed set or they started
making them and stopped very, very quickly. Colors and gloss are
beautiful, only flaws are 3 light surface hairlines to the rim.
Could be one of a kind... $149
15
Milwaukee Bucks Lil Dribbler Gem NrMt+ in Box MB $70
Nice
and shiny Black player example from the 1970-72 NBA Lil Dribblers

Robertson before the 1970-71 season). A few scattered pinpoints
and a tiny spot paint touch up to his left ear are the only minor
flaws, otherwise all original and minty. Box with team name
written in is a bit stained .$70 16 Baltimore Orioles

the fairly tough to find Colt 45 mini. Body is in great shape,
colors are fine with just some mild toning to the white paint.
Decals are solid (no hat decal, looks like it was there at one
time, probably wore off at some point. Not a big deal here since
many Colts were not given hat decals to begin with). A small nick
and some crazing to the top of the hat are the flaws.$144 19
Los Angeles Dodgers Mini NrMt+ MB $100 Cute little mini from
the 1961-63 Mini set. Nice colors, gloss and decals. Only flaw is

San Diego Chargers Full Sized Kail Nodder Rare Gem MB $240 Here's
a neat jumbo (10.5") nodder bank designed by Fred Kail and
modeled after the Kail statues. Very rare to find the large
example, haven't had one in 9 years! These oversized guys tended
to get banged around and this one has had some very nice
professional restoration and looks sharp with solid colors and
gloss. The skin color is a bit brownish which is often seen
on this doll (some lighter, some darker), not sure if they meant
to have white and black players or not, either way it looks good.
Charger chest decal has light wear, team base logo and helmet
bolts are in good shape. No chips or cracks. No stopper if that
matters to you. Scarce doll. Last picture is for comparison
purposes.$966 33

a really neat item, it's Fred Kail ashtray from the 60's featuring

these are tough finds and I've never seen a 49'er being offered.
This one looks really nice, the football stadium tray is in good
shape with just very minor surface wear. Decal is complete and
looks good. The player, who connects with a cork looks mint
although he has had a crack to his upper body professionally
restored, you can't tell with the naked eye, looks perfect. Great
piece!
$423 34
USC Trojans 1959-60 Felt Helmet Rare Gem ExMt MB $100 Probably
the first Japan made football doll, this is the unique felt helmet
USC Trojan doll (they also made UCLA and L.A. Rams examples).
Looks great on display, the felt helmet usually is kind of ratty,
this one is beautiful. Body paint and logos are super too. The

of his body but they don't really show on display. Pretty rare
early example that I haven't had in over 5 years.$404 35
Notre Dame Type 4 Toes Up Gem MB $240 Probably the toughest

base) which were only issued for a couple of dozen schools. Super
colors and gloss, decals are nice with just a couple of tiny
misses to the chest. He's had a few nicks and chips to the helmet

not bad. $70 44
New York Yankees Green Base Variation MB $100 A
pretty tough doll, this is the neat Green Base Yankee variation

set heads. They only made the Yanks and Giants in this style,
possibly to commemorate the1962 World Series. This one looks good
with nice coloring and paint and solid decals. Flaws are a touched
up ding to the hat brim, a tiny nick behind left ear and some
light scrapes to the head rim. Flaws are well hidden on display.

November 2015 Auction
01 Washington Redskins 1961
Black Square Base Rare Gem NrMt MB $500
Without a doubt one of the toughest football dolls to find, this is only the
4th one I've ever had. This is a solid example with strong colors and gloss
and sharp embossed decals all around. A touch of wear to the head rim, a
couple of craze marks to left side of helmet and some scattered spot touch
ups are all well hidden. Otherwise all original and in great shape. Rare
doll that looks super. $500 02
Detroit Lions 1963-64 Gold Square Base Black Player 1st One Rare Gem NrMt+
MB $500 One of the toughest football dolls
out there, I've never been able to offer one in auction before and can't
remember the last time I've seen one. This one is an all original beauty
with gem colors and gloss throughout. Embossed logos are strong and the
lions helmet decals are too which is very tough to find on any Lion. No
cracks or hairlines anywhere (any white specks you see are from camera
glare). Only flaws are very small paint scrapes to the gray paint on either
side of the helmet, they blend in well and don't amount to much. Don't hold
your breath for another anytime soon.

Good looking Bears example from the tough
1962-64 Black Player Toes Up set. Comes in his original box which is stamped

around the head rim and a small chip to the rear base, otherwise all

that I've ever seen) is in solid shape although the Colored stamp has some
dings to it. $512

looking one. $300 05 New York

nice as you'll see.$886 07 Roger Maris

because it's getting harder and harder to find Maris and Mantle dolls in top
condition that have not been restored. This one is all original and a beauty
with pleasing colors and gloss and super logos and signature. An incidental
nick under the head rim is minor and hidden. Otherwise mint and a beauty.

3rd one I've ever had in over 15 years! Really scarce, one of the toughest

Taiwan Doll Never Seen Wow Gem NrMt MB $120 Just when i thought I'd seen
it all.. wow, what a neat find this is! It's from the short lived 1973
Taiwan Basketball set which until now featured only the Trailbazers and
Supersonics models. This one has embossed logos, NBA on the base, Bulls on
the chest and even the shoelaces are embossed. Never seen one before, it was
either a prototype for a proposed set or they started making them and
stopped very, very quickly. Colors and gloss are beautiful, only flaws are 3
light surface hairlines to the rim. Could be one of a kind...
$149
15 Milwaukee Bucks Lil
Dribbler Gem NrMt+ in Box MB $70
Nice and shiny Black
player example from the 1970-72 NBA Lil Dribblers set. Nice colors and
gloss, decals are good with just a miss to the 1 on his chest (note the
Bucks example is the only example featuring the #1, it was added when the
Bucks traded for Oscar Robertson before the 1970-71 season). A few scattered
pinpoints and a tiny spot paint touch up to his left ear are the only minor
flaws, otherwise all original and minty. Box with team name written in is a
bit stained .$70

fairly tough to find Colt 45 mini. Body is in great shape, colors are fine
with just some mild toning to the white paint. Decals are solid (no hat
decal, looks like it was there at one time, probably wore off at some point.

32 San Diego Chargers
Full Sized Kail Nodder Rare Gem MB $240
Here's a neat jumbo (10.5")
nodder bank designed by Fred Kail and modeled after the Kail statues. Very
rare to find the large example, haven't had one in 9 years! These oversized
guys tended to get banged around and this one has had some very nice
professional restoration and looks sharp with solid colors and gloss. The
skin color is a bit brownish which is often seen on this doll (some
lighter, some darker), not sure if they meant to have white and black
players or not, either way it looks good. Charger chest decal has light
wear, team base logo and helmet bolts are in good shape. No chips or cracks.
No stopper if that matters to you. Scarce doll. Last picture is for
comparison purposes.$966
33 San Francisco 49'ers
Kail Ashtray Tough MB $300
Here's a really
neat item, it's Fred Kail ashtray from the 60's featuring the San Francisco
49'ers. I'm no expert on these but i know that these are tough finds and
I've never seen a 49'er being offered. This one looks really nice, the
football stadium tray is in good shape with just very minor surface wear.
Decal is complete and looks good. The player, who connects with a cork looks
mint although he has had a crack to his upper body professionally restored,
you can't tell with the naked eye, looks perfect. Great piece!
$423
34 USC Trojans 1959-60
Felt Helmet Rare Gem ExMt MB $100
Probably the
first Japan made football doll, this is the unique felt helmet USC Trojan
doll (they also made UCLA and L.A. Rams examples). Looks great on display,
the felt helmet usually is kind of ratty, this one is beautiful. Body paint
and logos are super too. The only flaws are two unusual vertical hairline
cracks on either side of his body but they don't really show on display.
Pretty rare early example that I haven't had in over 5 years.$404
35 Notre
Dame Type 4 Toes Up Gem MB $240 Probably the toughest Fighting Irish
example and this one is a beauty. It's the Type 4 College style (bullet
shaped head, ball horizontal on a colored base) which were only issued for a
couple of dozen schools. Super colors and gloss, decals are nice with just a
couple of tiny misses to the chest. He's had a few nicks and chips to the

them. Looks gem minty.

MB $100
A pretty tough doll, this is the neat
Green Base Yankee variation that used the head that is the same style as the
1960 Color Base set heads. They only made the Yanks and Giants in this
style, possibly to commemorate the1962 World Series. This one looks good
with nice coloring and paint and solid decals. Flaws are a touched
up ding to the hat brim, a tiny nick behind left ear and some light scrapes
to the head rim. Flaws are well hidden on display.
$191
45
Rumpus Room And I Can Cook Too Rare ExMt MB $100
Rare doll from
the 1961 Rumpus Room set, one of the toughest in the set. This is the sexy

marks that are supposed to be there). Colors, gloss and decals are all nice.

neat dolls, this is the #1 racer with the realistic face. These really look
sharp on the shelf, particularly if you pick up a few in the various colors
and start your own little Daytona speedway, lol!! This is the red car with
white jersey and blue and yellow helmet. Nice shiny paint and great details.
All original, only flaws are a few small dings to the head rim and an
incidental pin point or two. Fun!$70

September 2015 Auction
01 Boston Red Sox Beatles
Haircut Mini Rare 1st I've Had NrMt+ MB $750
This is an extremely rare doll, 1st one I've ever had and one of only two
examples that I've ever seen. Up until recently it was generally assumed
that only the Angels doll could be found in this style, this Red Sox popped
up several years ago and another has been seen since. Needless to say, it's
a true rarity. He's in very nice, all original condition. Colors and gloss
are good and the decals are fine with just a minor touch of wear. Three
small nicks are the flaws (side of base, bottom hat brim and under
head rim), all are minor. Looks good and did I mention it's rare? lol
$1716
02 Boston Red Sox
Black Player Tough Gem MB $500
One of the
tougher Black dolls to find, I've only had a handful over all the years I've
been doing this. This one is bright and shiny with super colors and gloss,
decals are pretty solid. He's had some cracks and chips professionally
restored and looks minty on the shelf. A bit of mold roughness is fairly
typical on these realistic face molds and does not detract. $3500
03 Roberto
Clemente White Base Gem MB $750
Here's a gorgeous
Clemente doll, probably the most popular and sought after baseball doll out
there. Bright colors with terrific gloss. Decals are perfect which is
extremely hard to find here. He's had a few chips and nicks professionally
restored and looks like a perfect gem mint doll on the shelf.
$1089

$280
05 Boston Red Sox Green Base Blue Hat Variation NrMt MB $180
The majority of
Red Sox Green bases were produced with a red hat, this is the tougher dark
blue hat variation. All original with no cracks or hairlines, just the
tiniest of nicks under the head rim. Some light toning and minor wear,
otherwise solid and good looking.
$770
06 Oakland Raiders 1965 AFL Earpad Rare
NrMt+
MB $500
One of
the toughest of all the football dolls, this is the scarce Raider from the
1965-68 AFL Ear Pad set. Haven't seen one in almost 2 years and have only
seen a half dozen or so over the 15 years I've been here. This one is
in super condition with strong colors and gloss and solid decals. A tiny
nick to helmet and some touch ups to feet area are the flaws, otherwise all
original and minty.
$1210

Up set. He's had some restoration and looks gem minty on the shelf with
super colors and gloss, no chips or cracks, Decals and helmet stripe are
pretty solid too. $468
08 Houston Oilers Toes Up
Variation Tough Gem MB $350 This is the rare Oilers
variation, often confused with the 1961 AFL doll. This also has a white base
like the 1961 AFL doll, but is the "Bobbie Style" (shirt tucked in), rather
than the baggy shirt. Extremely rare, I only know of about 6 of these.
Beautiful coloring, gloss and decals. He's had some work done to his lower
head area but it's beautifully done and he looks gem mint.
$466
09 New York Giants Black Toes Up Tough

cleaning. Looks gem minty. $240
11 Los
Angeles Angels Beatles Haircut Mini Tough NrMt MB $140 Here's the neat,
hard to find "Beatles Haircut" mini version. This head was unique to the

amount to much. All original and a pretty example.

light ding to the rim and an indent to rear shoulder are minor and hidden.
Looks great.$66
14 Houston Astros Wedge Base
Orange Hat ExMt MB $80 A fairly tough find from the 1970-72 Wedge Base
set. The Astros came with either a blue or orange hat, both pretty hard to
come by. For a Wedge Base he's in great shape, they generally were not well
made so there's some of the typical mold and shellac flaws but here they
aren't bad. Decals, often a big problem here, are in very nice shape. A
scratch like hairline to left cheek, a couple pin points and a scrape under
the rim are the well hidden flaws. Looks good on display.
$232
15 Boston Red Sox Wedge Base
Gem NrMt+ MB $100 Very pretty Bosox example from the tough 1970-72 Wedge

gorgeous example with rich purple coloring and terrific gloss. Chest and

Plastics sold their business to Revlon, Inc. which brought the production of
the Hartland Statues to a grinding halt. Dick Groat was the final release

box will increase its value dramatically.. This is a sharp illustrated
cartoon box produced in 1962 for the Maris dolls. It shows Roger with the

17 American and National League Mini Set Boxes Rare and Very Nice MB $50
This is a tough find, back in the day they often sold the 1961-63 Baseball
minis as a set and these are the boxes they were shipped in. Includes both
the American and National League (misspelled Legue) boxes and they are in
nice shape. I've seen sets in with the box go for exorbitant amounts in the

the ball. All original with solid colors and decals. One micro hairline to
the left side of the head rim that I had to search for is the flaw.$133
20 Pittsburgh Pirates Mini Paper Label ExMt MB $80 A fairly interesting
variation. I believe that they ran out of decals at the end of the
production cycle for the Mini set and used these paper labels to fill in.
I've seen the same label on a number of different minis over the years. This
is the Pirate example and he has nice colors and gloss and a sharp Pirate
logo on his hat. A hairline crack behind right ear is the flaw.

MB $200 A lovely all original example of this doll. The soft white colors

collar/neck area) are very well hidden on display. Looks real nice on the
shelf.
$193
23 Cleveland Indians White Base NrMt
MB $120
Nice looking doll with pleasing colors and gloss. Embossed chest logo is

good.

first football set. Nice colors, gloss and logos. A micro hairline in rear
and a few incidental pin point flakes are the only flaws. 29 Detroit

base. Looks OK as is or I'm sure it would be easy enough to find or make a
replacement. Nice colors and gloss, solid logo. Two light surface cracks in
rear are the flaws. $10

A nice original doll
from the 1963-66 Green Base set that is pretty tough to find in top original
condition. This one has no cracks or hairlines and the decals are strong.

doll!
44 Dennis The Menace Nodder Neat Gem MB
$50
This is a really neat doll. It was
originally designed to be a Dennis The Menace doll but they could not get a
licensing agreement so the dolls were issued either without a decal or with
an "Alvin" decal. The Dennis decal here is not original but it's a heck of a
good idea.. He's had some restoration to his head rim and looks minty on the
shelf. Great hair and cowlick, a really sharp doll.

on display and he looks good. Lt Fuzz is minty but for a circular crack
about 2/3 around his feet. It wasn't broken through and I put some adhesive

display.

Player Gem MB $750 One of the prettier dolls
you will see, this very tough to find Yankee example from the Black Player
set has super white colors and gloss and perfect chest and base decals. He's
had a cleaning and a bit of restoration to the head rim and looks gem mint.
The hat has a painted decal (which is not that unusual for a Yankee) and
it's in perfect shape too except the top stems of the Y are a bit
horizontal, probably the Japanese factory painter was a bit confused. That's
about all you could quibble with here, a super example.

Philadelphia Phillies Wedge Base Scarce Gem NrMt+ MB $750 One of the
toughest of all baseball dolls. From the hard to find 1970-72 Wedge Base set
this is only one of a handful of Phillies dolls out there. This one is all

Denver Bears Rare Road Uniform Only One I've Seen NrMt MB $350 Wow, this
is a rare and unique doll. It's a Denver Bear doll from the 1970-72 Wedge
Base set wearing a gray road uniform rather than the traditional white
jersey. This has been in the collection of an advanced collector for many
years and is the only one i've ever seen or heard of. I put him under the
back light and the gray paint is all original with just a touch of crazing
to the chest. He's in very nice condition, particularly for a Wedge Base
Bear which tend to suffer from a lot of problems. This one has solid colors
and gloss, decals are in good shape other than a missing hat decal. The
flaws are a small hairline and a nick or two to the rim and a couple of tiny
touch ups to the brim. Looks good.

Rainiers Drysdale Style Catcher 3rd I've Seen NrMt MB $300
This is a very rare doll.. It's part of a 3 doll set that features a
pitcher, catcher and batter and is known as the Drysdale Series as almost
all of them feature the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Seattle Rainiers Minor
League club ordered a very small number of these dolls with the S logo to
sell at their games. I saw my first one back in December 2005 ( a pitcher)
and had the catcher back in 2009 and 2014. This one is in great shape, all
original with strong colors and gloss. Only flaws are a couple of pinpoint
nicks to the head and a small chip to the face mask. Solid example.$300

hairlines, only flaws are a hidden flake to right arm, a touch up to the
blue paint on top of helmet and some well hidden pinpoint touch ups.
Otherwise all original and minty.

hairlines, just some light scattered marks and nicks to the paint. Looks
good. $484

4 Toes Up Tough Gem

doll and very tough to find. This is the Michigan example from the Type 4
Big Ten Toes Up set. I was lucky to have one a couple of auctions back but
don't be fooled, it's only the 4th one I've ever had. He has
outstanding gem colors and gloss and the chest, base and neat winged helmet
logos are super. Looks gem mint although my black light tells me he's had
some light restoration and a professional cleaning, you wouldn't know it
without a light. Super looking doll.$606

every few years and this is about as nice as they come. Great decals, solid
head rim and strong decals. Only flaws are some very minor scattered surface
paint flakes which are pretty much unavoidable on this doll with the flat
black paint that they used. Great example.$250

the Merger Series. Like new colors and gloss, perfect decals and no chips
cracks or hairlines (note the bigger white spot on top of helmet is camera

Kissing Pair Tough MB $40 This is a pretty hard to find Kissing pair
featuring the 50's and 60's actor/comic Danny Kay (they mis-spelled it
Danney on the decal which is the norm) and his hot, sexy girlfriend. They
look pretty good on the shelf with nice colors and logos. Up close you can
see some repairs to the lower head where the paint is a bit darker and
doesn't quite match up. OK as is or if you're handy you could probably
repaint and have them look minty.

28 Mississippi State
Bulldogs 1963 Liberty Bowl Nodder Gem MB $240
I did some research on this
doll and discovered that it was ordered special for the MSU's trip to
the1963 Liberty Bowl. It's very neat and obviously very rare. This one has
had some restoration to the head and some jersey repainting, but the decals,
legs and base are all original and in great shape. I've included a quote
from a Miss State websight as well as pix of the helmet worn and copies of
the bulldog logos that were used.
"At the 1963 Liberty Bowl,
we wore maroon jerseys sans stripes with numerals on the sleeve. The pants
were white, with double pinstripe piping on the outside of either leg.
Helmets were maroon, with a Bulldog image on the sides and a white numeral
on the back of the helmet. The team also wore a maroon legging under the
pants to cover the exposed leg between the knee and the top of the white
socks that were worn.”$299

30 Phantom
of The Opera Nodder Tough Gem NrMt+ MB $200
A pretty rare doll, doesn't
show up often. This was issued to promote Universal Studios remake of the
classic movie which was released in the summer of 1962. A beautiful example
with shiny coloring and paint and a solid stamped decal. (I bet Universal
was thrilled when they saw the finished product, the N is backwards and the
U was left out of studios!). All original with just a couple of pin point
sized nicks and a touch of excess shellac in places that do not detract at
all. Super doll.

Waterlung scuba diver promoting Sportsways Athletic Stores. They pop up
every few years and this is about as nice as they come. Great decals, solid
head rim and strong decals. Only flaws are some very minor scattered surface
paint flakes which are pretty much unavoidable on this doll with the flat
black paint that they used. Great
example.
34 Mickey Mouse Square Green Base with Decal Rare
ExMt MB $120
The toughest Mickey doll of all, this is the Square Green
Base example (they also made a Donald) and it doesn't come around often. I
believe this is only the 3rd one I've had for auction. This example looks
good with nice coloring and a solid decal. The flaws, a couple of small
chips to the head rim, are well hidden when he's on display. All original
except for a few hidden touch ups to the paint that you need a black light
to spot. $145

professionally done restoration to the
right side of his rim. Great lot. $240

seam miss to the middle I on chest. Some hidden pin point sized paint nicks
to the head rim are the flaws. $182
39
Cincinnati Reds Green Base NrMt/Mt
MB $100
Another doll from the 1963-66 Green Base set that is
pretty tough to find in top original condition. This one has no chips,
cracks or hairlines and the decals are strong. The ball heads on all Reds
dolls were given excess shellac which caused yellowing but this one is much
brighter than most that you see. A couple of factory paint touch ups to back
shouldn't count against him, that's the way he was made.. Nice doll. $220

Nice looking display lot featuring a SD Padres Gold Base and a Chicago White
Sox Green Base. Both have nice colors and gloss and the decals are in good

are the only flaws.
43
Boston Red Sox Gold Base Gem NrMt MB $80
I find the Bosox example to be one of the tougher dolls
in the Gold Base set. This one is a beauty with bright, glossy colors
throughout. Chest and hat decals are super, base decal has a flaw to the T.
Some chipping to the rear head rim is the flaw, looks gem minty. $88
44 Mr. Met Bobbing Head Bank Ex-
MB $80
This is the Mr. Met bank version. Overall not bad, he has
some issues but displays well. Main flaws are chipping to the head rim and a
light crack in rear, all hidden from the front. Nice display doll for the

Numbered Full Set of 5 Golden Era Baseball Nodders NrMt/Mt in Boxes
MB
$150
Many of you may recall Nodders, Inc, a company that in
the 1989-90 began producing Bobbing Head dolls. They produced a set of 5
baseball players, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Ty
Cobb and Honus Wagner. Production was limited to 5000 each although I
remember the later dolls were well short of that amount. All of the dolls
are mint in their original boxes and include their numbered hand tags. What
makes this truly special is they are all the same number (2277) which is
very rare. These dolls are are almost 25 years old now, I have to think they
should hold their value very well. $243

in Box MB $80
Gorgeous Piston example from the 1969 NBA Lil' Dribbler
set. Gem mint and still in his protective plastic wrap. Box is super too.

there was a series of labels that were misspelled "Bistons". The original
distributor corrected it in pen.$80
48
1970 Nebraska Bank Neat NrMt+ MB $50
Great looking Bank of Harry Husker, the official Nebraska
mascot from 1965 through 1973. He's about 8" tall and was produced between
1970-72 in Japan. These were generally promotional items for local banks
although this one is free of any bank logo. Nice colors, solid logos, no
cracks or crazing. Only flaws are some scattered rubs to the paint that
don't detract much. Neat looking doll. $62

Willie Mays Silver Label Variation First I've Had NrMt MB $500 A very
rare doll and one of the few dolls left that I've never been able to offer.
A very small number of Mays White Bases were given a silver label with the
correct Mays signature, rather than the "Wiely Msys" looking autograph on
his regular dolls. This one is in fine shape with nice coloring and
gloss. Hat and chest decals are solid with just a couple of minor misses.
The silver label has some dings along the bottom but is complete and the sig
looks good. A slight mold flaw under the head rim doesn't detract and a few
scattered touched up pin point flakes are the flaws. Otherwise all original
and nice looking. $1078

gem mint.$805

bright glossy colors and super decals. This is the happy face version which
is the much tougher Senator , I'd estimate that 4 of 5 Senator Black dolls
are the realistic face version. No chips, cracks or hairlines. He's all
original but for a tiny touch up to the brim and a bit of smoothing to the
head rim that I needed my black light to spot. As nice as you'll see.$688

hard to find Black Player set. The Dodgers example has become a pretty tough
one over the years. Sharp colors and gloss, nice decals. No chips or cracks

87 Numbered Full Set of 5 Golden Era Baseball Nodders
NrMt/Mt in Boxes MB $200 Many of you may recall Nodders, Inc, a company
that in the 1989-90 began producing Bobbing Head dolls. They produced a set
of 5 baseball players, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Shoeless Joe
Jackson, Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner. Production was limited to 5000 each
although I remember the later dolls were well short of that amount. All of
the dolls are mint in their original boxes and include their numbered
handtags. What makes this truly special is they are all the same number
(2277) which is very rare. These dolls are are almost 25 years old now, I
have to think they should hold their value very well.

all of the rest are AFL teams. Had my first and only one back in September

all around. He's all original and the only flaws are a small ding under the
helmet rim on the left side with a couple of light surface hairlines in the
area. Pretty minor stuff and they are well hidden so he looks gem minty on
display. Super doll that probably won't come around again for awhile.

popular team and certainly not as available as many dolls that go for 2 to 3
times what this one does. This example is a beauty, all original with gem
colors and gloss, perfect decals and no chips, cracks or hairlines. Only
thing worth mentioning is a small dab of the paint used for the hair on the

Piston example from the 1969 NBA Lil' Dribbler set. Gem mint and still in
his protective plastic wrap. Box is super too. Interesting note on the box,

57 Numbered Full Set of 5 Golden Era Baseball Nodders in
Boxes MB $250 Many of you may recall Nodders, Inc, a company that in the
1989-90 began producing Bobbing Head dolls. They produced a set of 5
baseball players, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Ty
Cobb and Honus Wagner. Production was limited to 5000 each although I
remember the later dolls were well short of that amount. All of the dolls
are mint in their original boxes and include their numbered handtags. What
makes this truly special is they are all the same number (2277) which is
very rare. These dolls are are almost 25 years old now, I have to think they
should hold their value very well.$
58 Mr. Met Bobbing Head Gem MB $150 This is the rarer
