Fake-Fat Sunny Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 There have been several post with folks theorizing (though many calim far more certainty about their choice than is warranted in the real world of the market where NO player is worth some absolute level of draft pick) as to what TH's worth is on the market. Well last night in Buffalo I stumbled upon a true real-life measure. My wife and I were at the Tops Friendly Market in North Buffalo getting some egg nog, Boca Italian Sausages, Entemanns danish's and stuff for multiple days of holiday festivities. She pointed to a table upfront as we wheeled our booty out of the store and lo and behold their were literally dozens of Travis Henry bobblehead dolls marked down for sale (it looked like a scene from the Hitchcock movies The Birds where the heros quietly shuffle through a bunch of silent birds sitting and watching as they try to get their car). In this world where everything must go and are priced according to demand, the TH Bobbleheads were marked as originally priced at $14.99, but were now marked down to a mere ninety-nine cents! How low the once revered have now fallen. From the Pro Bowl to the outhouse in one fell swoop. While he once commanded big bucks for a bobblehead he is now a paperweight at best.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Who would pay $14.99 for a bobblehead doll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 You had to look closer. There were cracks in one of the legs of the bobblehead dolls. He's on the discount rack due to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCCEO Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Last I checked he's rushed for about 4,000 yards for us, so Id still get one. Willis may be the better back, but there was a time when Henry was #1 in buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's gonna cost you your high 2nd rounder. unknown GM: 2nd rounder???!! are you crazy? i haven't watched film on TH but the last time I was in WNY I walked into that Tops in north Buffalo and his bobbleheads were marked down to 99 cents. you get no better than a 4th for a discounted bobblehead. TD: you saw that? @$%@$. (aside) i'm gonna have to have a talk with that manager. Hey how about a 3rd rounder and we'll repaint all the TH bobbleheads we have to your team colors and send them along with him? GM: DEAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
