Rickey Henderson #949 Modesto Athletics 2002 Bobblehead Used by Alexander Global Promotions
Here's a Rickey Henderson bobblehead from 2002. It's both interesting and more valuable than other bobbleheads from that time, for several reasons:
First of all, the giveaway was held in a minor league (Modesto) city which automatically reduces the number of bobbleheads produced due to the smaller stadium and potential crowd size. This will automatically increase the relative scarcity and make it more valuable/desirable.
Secondly, it is of a Hall of Fame member in the person of Rickey Henderson, who is well-known in MLB collector circles.
Thirdly, the 949 stolen bases represent the record-breaking number of career stolen bases amassed by Rickey, who surpassed Lou Brock. Rickey was far from done, however, as he finished with 1406!
Also note that there is no original box with this bobblehead; thus, it will be packaged and shipped as shown in the last photo. Also, this is heavier than your 'normal' bobblehead (and presumably will be more durable). And it is, BTW, in excellent condition.
This product was made in China.

A few things to know about Jeff's Curiosity Shoppe:
Welcome aboard! We're delighted you stopped in. But first, a brief history lesson:
We began with a single store -- Jeff's Vintage Treasure in 2018 -- with Shopify and sold mostly vintage sports products. Because some customers wanted newer items as well, that same year we added a second web site
-- Jeff's Treasure Chest -- to the mix.
The second store did well, and we became obsessed with other "niche" stores and began to accumulate inventory for them. The desire to add these other options led us to the decision in 2022 to eventually consolidate everything under one roof, which also resulted in the new name. You'll notice some of them on our home page, and that's only about half of what we have planned (unless we come to our senses first).
It will probably take quite a while to list everything we have, so check back often, and we're always open to your suggestions -- really!
As far as store operations go, some key points:
1) Shipping: Right now, it's U.S. only. Unless it's the holidays, or a weather situation (as we recently experienced) we always try to ship within 24 hours, but we officially ask for a 2-day window.
2) Returns: Our policy is we don't accept returns, and here's why: In the six years when running both of our original stores, we had 2 -- count 'em, 2 -- returns: One was for a Oakland A's hat that the manufacturer tagged "adult" but turned out to be a youth, and we also shipped a White Rose replica St. Louis Cardinals T-Bird instead of a nearly identical Indians model... yep, that one was our mistake. The point being that to date there has not been a single complaint over the quality of what we sell. And with people getting what seems to be an "Amazon" mentality when it comes to returns, we really don't want to travel down that road. However, know that if you have an issue with anything we sell, let us know and we'll do our best to make it right. Fair enough? (See our Policy and/or Contact Pages in the footer at the bottom of any
page for more detailed information).
