3. New York Yankee Bobblehead 1961-62
Maker: New York Yankees
Original Price: Unknown*
Worth Today: $59,750*
New York Yankee Bobbleheads, and in fact bobbleheads in general are quite a valuable commodity when you know what to look for. These little guys noddingly approve of being sold for prices upwards of $5,000 and are a very popular collector’s item.
However, this particular bobblehead is special because only two were ever made. The rare collectors items are hand-painted and made from ceramic and paper-mâché, If you are lucky enough to have one of these 14-inch bobbleheads in good condition you are holding $60,000 in your hands.
The trouble is, finding one in an immaculate state is often easier said than done. After all, bobbleheads are very interesting to kids who may not appreciate what “future value” means. That being said, when they do pop up at auction they’re highly appreciated (and sought after) for this very reason.
