Presented is an almost unheard of offering of a complete set (less one) of the 1962-65 Green Base bobbing-head dolls, comprised of 19 of the 20 teams (missing only the Tigers), plus the rare Red Sox "blue hat" variation, for a total of 20 dolls. American League: All ten dolls (nine different teams plus Red Sox variation) are Gem Mint with the exception of the Orioles which is Ex. National League: Complete set of NL green base dolls: Reds (Mint), Phillies (Gem Mint), Dodgers (Gem Mint), Colt. 45s (Gem Mint), Cubs (Ex due to yellowing), Giants (Mint), Pirates (Nr/Mt), Braves (Nr/Mt), Cardinals (Gem Mint), and Mets (Mint). This is the first near-complete set of green base bobbing-head dolls we have ever offered (or seen offered). Sets are very difficult to assemble, and usually have to be put together one doll at a time. This is an extraordinarily high-grade complete set (minus one) of green base bobbing head dolls, assembled with great care and effort over a period of many years, and with uncompromising attention to quality and condition. Total 20 dolls. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$4,000. SOLD FOR $5,220.00
