Collectible of the Week: Larry Shenk Bobble Head

August 19, 2013 by Matt. in "Collectible of the Week", "Larry Shenk", "Phillies bobble head"

Former Public Relations Director, Larry Shenk, known as "The Baron", was honored by the Phillies in 2007.  At a dinner celebrating his 44th year with the team, attendees were presented with this one-of-a-kind keepsake.

The bobble head features Shenk in business casual wear, holding a notebook with his trademark headline, "Newsy Notes" in one hand and a pipe in the other.  The "sponsor nameplate" at his feet reads: Phillies.  Never intended for public consumption, this is a pretty rare find - though, patient collectors will find them on eBay or Facebook Marketplace for around $75-100 from time-to-time.

Tale of the Tape: 

  • Produced by - BD&A

  • Production run - 500
