Hello all,
My Wife and I started a 30 before 30 list and one of the items on our list is starting a collection.
I got one of the Wheat Kings Ivan Provorov bobbleheads and was thinking that I might start collecting them.
Where would you suggest is the best place to buy bobbleheads? I have found some on eBay and they are priced around $40.
Is that reasonable? Or should I look elsewhere or just wait until I go to games.
I am thinking the chance of me being it a Flyers game on a bobblehead giveaway night is slim, so if I am collecting I will likely have to pay something.
Thanks everyone,

Definitely online. Or from season ticket holders, if you know any. I started collecting too and have a nice little roster so far:
Ken Daneyko
Taylor Hall
Andy Greene
Adam Henrique
Jonathan Toews
Pau Gasol (Bulls)
Kris Bryant (Cubs)
Cam Newton
mostly Devils via my season ticket holder buddy, but I've branched out to other sports since I moved to Chicago. My Daneyko was from ebay and it's great

There are places where you can actually have custom bobbleheads made. Maybe you should get one made of your wife?
Of course, haha. If you ever find yourself in Charlotte-- assuming they continue playing there for a while-- the team store at the stadium is pretty awesome and has a nice array of bobbleheads. I try to make it out there for a home game each season and it's always one of my favorite trips.
Why do I have the feeling that your top 40 under 40 list will involve having a giant garage sale so you can declutter? lol

Another place to check are hobbie shops. We've got a local card shop in town and he's got at least 30 different options for sale. Often websites have free shipping on orders over $X.xx amount... buy 3 .. free shipping?

Find a small sports apparel store and get them to order you a bobblehead.

There's a sports apparel store near me called Sports Obsession and they have been pretty chill with stuff for me. Like no tag on an item and they go, "Uhhhh hows $20 sound?", or they've discounted jerseys for me because I wanted a Large and all they had was an XL. Or I was looking for an item that had the name "steve" on it and they didn't have one. So they said they'd give me a call/text when they get a new batch in and they specifically ordered some Steve items.
