Yellow Base York Yankee Nodder/Bobbin Head/Bobbing Head/Bobble Head
Item History & Price
This auction is for a square Yellow Base 1960 New York Yankee bobbin head, also known as nodder. With the exception of a ding on his, he's pretty nice. He has no hairline cracks and has nice vibrant colors. He books for $200, as this version is fairly easy to find so I'll list him at half price. I guarantee that this Mantle has never been refurbished, nor refinished, nor repainted and is 100% original. Thank you again for watching and please make the DENVER SUPPLY one of your fav...orite vendors so you can readily and frequently drop by......................Barry

I have 14 nodders from when I was a child. Back then they were only a buck or two and my Mother would allow me to pick one out every time we went to the Ephrata Children's Boy Store for school clothing. They had an entire wall of them How many times I've thought about those days. I would love to simply know now what all they had?I never landed any super or tough nodders but I still indeed do have all the original members of this gathering purchased for me as a small boy, by my Mother. I took painstaking care of these little guys even then. I even hid this fact from my friends for fear of them making fun of me for playing with dolls. I gently stuffed newspaper in their heads To keep them from chipping. So each and everyone of these guys turned out negative on my black light test. Then, I purchased numerous nodders off an auction house, which sometimes identifies when, and if, a piece they're selling, has been restored. Unfortunately I've been burned one too many times so no more auction houses for me. They look beautiful, as advertised, but when subjected to your little black light test, BOOM, there it is. Without the aid of that black light, I couldn't tell which of my Black Faced Phillies had been restored. They are both beautiful, and shiney, and mint, and have vibrant colors. But when the black light hits it, there are your spots of color that someone painted on. And you know what? That's fine. They belong to you. You may certainly fix them up, paint them up, cover up a nick, scratch, pin hole, whatever, to your own choosing and preference. Feel free to do whatever you like. But the problem now lies, if and when you should decide to sell them. Because now you have an obligation to at least share this. Now they've been restored and this is going to help sell it for some people, and discourage other people from buying it. It works both ways. I don't mind owning and displaying mint nodders in my personal collection that have been professionally restored. Don't mind it one little bit, but it's just as easy to sell mint ones, that have never been restored. Yes they're very expensive, I don't deny that. I spend a ton of money on the GEM MINT ones. Most dealers aren't willing to pay as much as I do, but what I have is MINT and I have a very nice collection of them. Anyway, get yourself a black light and you'll be an expert in no time. A 30 Watt Black Light can be purchased on Amazon for $30.00 and it's more then big enough. I would never ever be without mine again. They even sell blacklight flashlights. They're not big enough for at home but it you're going to a card show and thinking about buying a bobbin head or two, stick it in your pocket and sneak a quick look before paying for a nodder from a man you'll never see again. If you're a nodder collector, this is an absolute must for your own satisfaction as well as protection. It's simply too easy.
