    I know some of you really could care less about thoose cheesy bobbleheads - but I'd like to put together a comprehensive list of players who have been 'immortalized' as bobbleheads.

    2004 - Any one hear who they will be doing this year? I'm going to guess Adu for DC.

    2003 -
    Taylor Twellman - New England Revolution
    Oscar Pareja - Dallas Burn
    Carlos Ruiz - L.A. Galaxy
    Colorado Rapids
    San Jose Earthquakes
    Kansas City Wizards
    Chicago Fire
    Columbus Crew
    Metrostars
    DC United


    2002 -

    Jason Kreis - Dallas Burn
    Cobi Jones - L.A. Galaxy
    Colorado Rapids
    San Jose Earthquakes
    Kansas City Wizards
    New England Revolution
    Josh Wolff - Chicago Fire
    Brian McBride - Columbus Crew
    Clint Mathis - Metrostars
    DC United

    I seem to remember a Mamadu Diallo and an Eddie Pope too.

    The other DCU bobbleheads are Etcheverry, Pope, Convey and Olsen.

    There are 2 versions of the Cobi and Ruiz 2003 bobbles. The Giveaway versions have on the base the Home Depot Center and National Team flags for each player--USA for Cobi, Guatemala for Ruiz, and Bo for Korea. The retail versions say new soccer nation on the base--though El Pescadito is similar except for the missing star on the HDC version, while Cobi has the teal/green jersey instead.

    Try http://www.thecrew.com and see if they have the Stern John for sale. Last season they were selling that and Friedel as part of a package. Cheers!

    Thanks for the heads up on the Crew bobbles. I did not know Friedel was bobble-ized. I also did not know Brad had a lot more hair back then. The only problem is I already have two different versions of the McBride bobble. Do I really need another?

    No prob. If you're at the Club Quake tailgate we can talk shop! There's that one (gold version) on the pic which is from 2002 and the newer version which is him wearing his black jersey that was sold in the Eurosport catalog. Of course, if you wanted you you can always paint the kit black to make it a rare item, or use the extra McBride for trade/gift raffle etc. :D

    Hope you were able to get them at thecrew.com--Brad is probably the most prized in my collection, next to the Joe and Cowboy Troy of course. ;)

    Cheers!

    Shannon MacMillan and Marianne Pichon can be found on ebay for an affordable price. If there's none you'll have to be patient on those.

    I do know the San Diego Spirit was selling Mac for $15 when they were online.

    As for Lilly and Siri, be prepared to spend big bucks for those. It's ridiculous that they went for $250 and $150 respectively--only a Beatles 1964 edition in mint condition is worth that much (and I don't care for the non-soccer ones). I would appraise Lilly at the most $100, while Siri should be bought at $50-$70.

    Cheers!

    It's a bargain buy. Only $10, and worth adding. This is the only one of two from the lower divisions, the other one being a Chris Armas Long Island RoughRiders bobblehead and that head is rare. Cheers!

    Investment value. It's the old maxim that if you leave the bobblehead in the packaging intact the value is much higher.

    However some people like to display their wares so they just remove it from the box and show. It's like every other collectable where if you never removed the item from the box the monetary value is high.

    To add:

    There are 2 versions of Freddy Adu. The stadium giveaway with him holding the ball (USSF sponsored), and the retail with him juggling the ball (it's also a bobbleball in addition to a bobblehead).

    (and a big thanks to guamster for noting DMB and Klein, and the retail link to Adu)... cheers!

    You know - what I really want is a DEMA Kovalenko bobblehead - well maybe several, I'd like to break his leg and put him next to my Jason Kries and Oscar Pareja bobbles. And then use another one as a threatening presence to DMB. I'd save the others for use in the future.

    Anyone here able to get the DMB or Klien bobbles?

    I was able to buy a DMB bobble through Ebay couple weeks ago. There are a couple DMB's up for bid right now.

    The Chris Klein give-away is this weekend.

    Good luck.
