Yankees Fans Were Hungry For George Costanza Bobbleheads

New York Yankees fans went completely insane over some George Costanza bobbleheads on Friday night, and frankly, they were right to; those things are awesome.

They were announced a few months ago, and I guarantee that a lot of fans had the date circled on their calendars.

I am so jealous of the first 18,000 fans…

I feel like bobbleheads had a bit of a moment like 20 years ago. I remember my family picking which minor league hockey and baseball games we'd go to partially based on the bobblehead being given away.

So, I was thrilled to see people flocking to a Yankees game to get their hands on a bobblehead like the good old days.

And, in fact, this bobblehead was so good that I was even considering hopping on a plane and trying to get my hands on one, but I'm glad I didn't because I hate standing in lines.

And look at this line:

Alright, maybe I'm considerably less jealous of them after seeing them.

But still, the wait would've been well worth it, because how great is that bobblehead? It even has "Assistant To The Traveling Secretary" on the base. 

So, let's take a look at what these puppies are going for on eBay, shall we? Alright, let me back out of the Simpsons scripts I was perusing…

I'll be honest, they're not as crazy as I thought they might be, but they're still way more than a sane person would be for a bobblehead that another person got for free.

I'm not seeing any sub-$100, and from there, they go up to about $150. Maybe that'll change, but if you're not a Seinfeld fan, picking up a George Costanza bobblehead and then turning around and selling it on eBay may have just paid for your night at the ballpark.

When you look at it that way, everyone's a winner.
