BUFFALO BILLS NFL/AFL Merger Series 1968 Nodder/Bobbin Head/Bobbing Head

  
This listing is for a 1968 Buffalo Bills bobbin head, also known as nodders. He's bright and shiny and has vibrant colors but he's certainly not without issues. There is one hairline crack on the back of his helmet, he has multiple chips and dings under his head, but nothing major, and as you can see, he has some dings also on his base as well as on the football which he's holding. He'll still display nicely though and the beautiful BUFFALO decals on his helmet, his strongest trait, are absolutely flawless. He is part of the 1968 NFL/AFL Merger series.

This is easily confused with the Gold Base 1965 series, but upon further inspection, one can see the difference in several places. First and foremost are the facial expressions. He does not have a box. In a month if he has yet to sell, then I'll open the "Make an Offer" option. I guarantee him to be unrestored, unpainted, unrefurbished and completely 100% completely original.

Thank you again for watching and please make the DENVER SUPPLY one of your favorite vendors so you can readily and frequently dsrop by. I try to list several items each and everyday so have a look and if there's something in particular that you're looking for, please ask me. I have thousands of nodders to move in the next few years, I hope I live long enough to do so.

One final thought, I guarantee and promise satisfaction with each and every item that w. I have 14 nodders from when I was a child. Back then they were only a buck or two and my Mother would allow me to pick one out every time we went to the Ephrata Children's Boy Store for school clothing. They had an entire wall of them. How many times I've thought about those days. I would love to simply know now what all they had? I took painstaking care of these little guys even then. I even hid this fact from my friends for fear of them making fun of me for playing with dolls. I gently stuffed newspaper in their heads because even then, I was indeed smarter then the average bear, and he's actually quite intelligent, so they say. Today, I use Jumbo cotton balls instead of newspaper cause I can afford it now. I did however, carefully write the number 43 on the back of one of my several Phillie bobbin heads.

He is still lovingly known today as the "Wes Covington" edition, and he's quite limited, I'll have you know. So each and everyone of these guys turned out negative on my black light test. They look beautiful, as advertised, but when subjected to your little black light test, BOOM, there it is. Without the aid of that black light, I couldn't tell which of my Black Faced Phillies had been restored. They are both beautiful, and shiney, and mint, and have vibrant colors.

But when the black light hits it, there are your spots of color that someone painted on. You may certainly fix them up, paint them up, cover up a nick, scratch, pin hole, whatever, to your own choosing and preference.

Feel free to do whatever you like. But the problem now lies, if and when you should decide to sell them. Because now you have an obligation to at least share this. I don't mind owning and displaying mint nodders in my personal collection that have been professionally restored, don't mind it one little bit.

But there's a huge difference in the price. Yes the true MINT ones that have never been restored are very expensive, I don't deny that. Some people don't understand this and give me a good bit of grief about those prices. They can easily bring double or triple book prices. Keep in mind please that all price guides are nearly 20 years old also.

Most of the dealers aren't willing to pay as much as I do for the mint, unrefurbished old nodders, but I also have a huge selection of non mint ones and I'm working diligently to get them all listed, but it will take me years. Regardless, get yourself a black light please, you'll be an expert in no time and you'll be glad that you did. I would never ever be without mine again. They even sell blacklight flashlights. If you're a nodder collector, this is an absolute must for your own satisfaction as well as protection.
