Florida Atlantic University Owls Owlsley (mascot) 2017

Upon sending Sam my item.  We went through a series of taking photos of seven different bobbleheads.  Flash / no flash, front / back - so Sam could take critical looks at bobblehead condition..  This exercise endured a total of 30 minutes.  As I had never been asked to do anything like that before, I thought it was worth a mention.

Chris Devenski (game of thrones) 2017

On November 3, 2017 - I made a trade-in-person agreement with Ever R of Lone Star Bobbleheads.  I received the Chris Devenski Game of Thrones Special Event (6/28/17) bobblehead in great condition with original packaging.  As said on Facebook group, he is Good-to-Go (G2G).

I hope the opportunity presents to make another trade with Ever - the rare premium for premium exchange.  We had a nice brief conversation, and he gave me a canvas bag also with this gigantic size bobblehead,. I did not realize what a monstrosity it is.  So after a quick mtg in the morning around 7:30am, it seemed very bizarre that later that morning at NRG park, I was walking around a NFL game next to Devenski and Orbit - recently exchanging their bobbleheads.  I wouldnt guess if there is any hidden meaning behind that.

This is nice to finally complete the hunt after recent bad experience after trying to complete a deal with Brandon Newb (LINK).

Billy the Marlin (aviator) (mascot) 2017 & Christian Yelich 2017

On August 20, 2017 - I made a trade-by-mail agreement with Charles S of Bobblehead Addicts.  I have received  and Billy the Marlin Aviator Special Event (9/30/17) bobbleheads and Christian Yelich (10/1/17) bobbleheads.  These bobbleheads were supposed to be given out two weeks prior but due to Hurricane Irma, they postponed the giveaway.  As said on Facebook groups, he is Good-to-Go (G2G).

I was expecting to receive the Billy the Marlin Birthday Special Event (8/13/17) bobblehead but I imagine there was some complications.  I will be asking at some point later what happened, but I appreciate trading and talking bobble with Charles in the Marlins Fish Bowl and was great to make his acquaintance (finally) after years of correspondence and learning about his full-on all-in approach to the bobblehead hobby.  Father and son!

Michael Gruber (riding unicorn) 2017

On August 19, 2017 - I made a trade-by-mail agreement with Andrew M of Bobblehead Addicts.  I have received the Michael Gruber Riding Unicorn SGA (8/17/17) bobblehead in great condition with original packaging.  As said on Facebook group, he is Good-to-Go (G2G).

Trading for a Magical Unicorn bobblehead is extremely uncommon.  In fact Andrew baited me into trading 2-for-1 which of course I granted.  We'd talked about trading for another uncommon toy, so I would imagine he is thinking of something unusual for the next round.  Here is another look at a rough rider unicorn and rainbows bobblehead, the one that breaks the mold.
