Bobblehead fever might never again match the furor it caused in the 1990s and early 2000s, but some trinkets can still draw eye-popping prices on the secondary market.
Before we go any further, it's important to note the majority of the most expensive Cooper Flagg bobbleheads listed for sale on eBay as of Friday morning were around $500 and open to offers. So don't expect to pay your kid's college tuition on a Minor League Baseball gate giveaway.
But in the initial excitement of the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs' promotion honoring home-state hero and NBA star Flagg on Wednesday, the listing price for the bobbleheads reached as high as $30,000 according to MLB .com's Josh Jackson.
The endless line reportedly began to form at Hadlock Field in Portland, Maine, around 8:30 a.m. ET for the 6 p.m. game. Early arrival was necessary because only the first 1,000 attendees out of the 6,000-plus capacity would receive a bobblehead of the Dallas Mavericks forward.
Some might call adults who stand in line for hours outside a minor league ballpark in order to price gouge people on the secondary market simply smart businessmen. Others might call them losers. The one sign that the world hasn't completely gone crazy, thankfully, was that as of Friday morning, nobody had clicked "Buy It Now" on the $30,000 listing.
Everybody knows that bobblehead is worth $29,000 at most.
