I think we should all take time out for a moment of silence for my friends, Steeler nodder and Roger Maris nodder. Each have served their time in the world of the collector and now have made it on to the eBay cemetary.

Today I would like to briefly cover the wonderful world of vintage nodders. These little guys are some of the coolest items a person can collect and they can come at a hefty price tag depending on how rare they are and what condition they are in.

There are a couple businesses that specialize in nodders and probably the largest company in this field is Inside the Park Collectibles. Make sure to check out their site if you're interested in nodders.

Touchdown Treasures also carries many nodders, and other statues that deserve a look.

Like any highly-desirable item, nodders attract crooked people trying to pawn their items off as original. Many of the nodders being sold on eBay are either restored or simply not real.

Be very careful when purchasing nodders online. Ask the sellers lots of questions and DO YOUR RESEARCH. Also, I am not considered a nodder expert, but I could probably help if you have any questions. Feel free to drop me a line at any time.
