The
mini series of baseball bobbing heads were issued at the same time as the
White base- from 1961- 1962. They are literally smaller version of the White base series and measure about
4 1/2" tall. Most of the dolls were
equipped with a magnet on the bottom of the base and were often seen adorning the dashboards of cars. It was a
comprehensive set with all the Mjor league teams plus two individual players-
Mickey Mantle and Roger
Maris. There is the same compliment of mascot heads as the White base series and several hard to find variations. They can range in price for the common
L.A. Dodgers at $175 up to $2,000 for the rare boy face Baltimore
Orioles. Each team came in at least two different variations- holding a ball or a bat. there are a number of different boy face style heads, so to collect them all with the two body types is a task.
