Collecting the Sox: Bobbleheads - Indiana Turner

 If you're following me on Instagram (and really why aren't you?) you know I've been showing off my bobblehead collection periodically one by one. I realized that I should be doing that here as well so everyone can see them. So, let's continue the "Collecting the Sox" series to show some of the things a Red Sox fan might collect.


Like this one...



Obviously, this is a bobblehead to promote the Indiana Jones franchise. Put out in 2023, I'm guessing the focus was on the Dial of Destiny entry. Remember that one?

Pretty bland offering here. I can't be sure, but I think a lot of these secondary promotion bobbleheads are just designed once for every team. I imagine lots of teams gave away bobbleheads showing a player wearing the leather jacket and leaning on a bat. That way only the head would need a new mold. However it came about, I needed to add this one to my collection.

What do you think of it?

Collecting the Sox - Baseballs: 2018 Opening Day

If you're following me on Instagram (and really why aren't you?) you know I've been showing off my baseball collection periodically one by one. I realized that I should be doing that here as well so everyone can see them. So, let's continue the "Collecting the Sox" series to show some of the things a Red Sox fan might collect.

Like this baseball...



For a ling time I collected pins when I went to games. But, as pics got more expensive, and slightly more awkward to display, I reverted to baseballs. Obviously, they're a great baseball collectible. Most of the big games and events have baseballs specific to them. 

Like 2018 Opening Day. Naturally, some balls are more impressive than others. But, this ball has a nice pop of color on it that I enjoy. The classic logo on the front is a pretty common way to go with these. 

Makes for a nice collectible.
