July 22, 201510 yr Hey Guys, This post may be a little different than the normal, but I thought I would pick your brains.

July 22, 201510 yr Here is a complete list that I've compiled over the years. It is missing the new Jose Abreu ROY and Adam Eaton Star Wars bobbles though. My buddy MYSOXSUMMER posted it to his blog. Good luck on the hunt!!! https://mysoxsummer.wordpress.com/2015/07/0...am-issued-only/ Side note, I'm looking for these 4. Does anyone have them and would you be willing to sell or trade? - 2003 Fantasy Camp Art Kusnyer (Cave) - 2005 Fantasy Camp Tom Paciorek - 2007 Fantasy Camp Greg Walker - 2011 Kid’s Club Southpaw If anyone has these, please contact me!

July 22, 201510 yr My mom has this weird obsession with Scott Podsednik. She can't go to the 8/1 game but really wants on of the bobbleheads. She'll pay $20 for one or can trade a Sale or a Kittle. PM me if interested.

July 22, 201510 yr What I wouldn't do for an Esteban Loiza or Adruw Jones bobble!!! Man those would look good next to my Nancy Faust, Juan Pierre, and Miller Lite Vendor. I will say though, they do make good office paper weights/trinkets. I used to just always give mine away, kept a few over the past year on my desk. Always get the most attention from people visiting the office.
July 23, 201510 yr Didn't see Jose Valentin mentioned. Also the road-jersey Frank Thomas and Paul Konerko from 2002. Also from 2003, the Konerko home jersey batting, the Magglio home jersey All-Star batting, and the Frank home jersey kneeling. On top of those, there are variations of all three in the black alternate unis. Also not sure if you listed Bill Melton and Joe Crede.

I didn't catch that. It was an AGP, same style as all of the other Sox ones. Disqualify the 2002 Konerko and Thomas also then, and the '03 Konerko and Thomas. All of these fit right in with the AGP bobbles though and not those crappy looking Forever Collectibles.
July 24, 201510 yr Don't have a single Sox bobblehead but I've lived in California for the last 35 years. I do have some Frank Thomas Starting Lineups , the 1st ones they made of him .
July 24, 201510 yr Now I know why Ewok joined my group! I started this FB page with pics from my collection - The White Sox Bobblehead Resource I did one post on bobbles, but I am no expert. I started it up because there is a huge upkick in collecting and thought there needed to be a resource for us fans. I limited it to only what I have currently. Mostly SGA's, as I don't collect many retail versions.

They also sold them that season at the park (one game). Bill Melton joins - Art "Cave" Kushner, Carlos May, Greg Walker, Tom Paciorek, Bobby Thigpen and Mark "Chief" Salas as the Fantasy Camp Bobbles given out by the Sox. Very limited. Very hard to find.
