Few Tips of collecting bobblehead doll

Here are a few tips for bobblehead doll collecting:
#1. What's your interest?
There are numerous categories of bobblehead dolls to choose from including:
Sports, Music, Cartoon, Vintage, Political, Historical, Cartoon, Movies and much more. Find your area of interest and start hunting...or collect a little from each category!
#2. Where to find bobblehead dolls?
Unfortunatley you can't walk in to any store and find bobblehead dolls. They are still few and far between. Ebay is a great place to start looking and a great place to do your research (the next tip).

Start browsing through auctions to see what bobbleheads are selling for and what to expect to pay in shipping fees (it aint cheap).
#3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK
As with almost any collectible..one of the main things is to do your homework..research...research...research. The more you know, the more informed decisions you will make! Informed buyers and sellers do not overpay or undersell their bobblehead dolls. They know what questions to ask and what answers to give.

#4. How to display your bobblehead doll collection
Bobblehead dolls are not as fragile as some think, but they do need some care. Keep them on a shelf or in a display case away from sunlight (and hopefully away from dust)....and also away from curious hands that want to "bobble" them. It's best to put a piece of foam or cotton balls inside the neck to prevent bobbling.
You can clean them with a mild soap (I prefer Dawn) and dust them frequently with a soft dry cloth. Leaving your bobblehead dolls in the box is the best protective measure, but most collectors want to display them..which is great...and how it should be.
#5. What's my bobblehead doll worth?
Other than the "Warman's Bobbing Head Field Guide" (for vintage dolls only), there really aren't any good price guides out there! Lee's Toy Review magazine has guides for Funko and sometimes Neca bobbles....but that's about it. Tuff Stuff magazine made several half-hearted attempts at a guide, but they were so far behind and didn't have the resources to get accurate values that I wouldn't use their old guides at all. This is a new and growing collectible and it's almost impossible to get a handle on everything that's out there currently.

#5. Do my bobblehead dolls have to be on perfect condition?
These are just a few tips for collecting bobblehead dolls. I think the most important thing to know about collecting bobblehead dolls..or anything for that matter is to HAVE FUN! Buy what you like or buy what you think will be valuble.....but have fun doing it. It's fun meeting other collectors and finding new pieces.....and it's fun to finally get that one bobblehead doll that you've been looking for for months or years!
