A gorgeous example of the mid-1960s NFL nodder series — the St. Louis Cardinals 1965 "Real Face" Bobblehead Nodder, manufactured by Sports Specialties (original gold oval label present on green base underside). The "Real Face" designation refers to the highly realistic facial sculpt featuring natural skin tones, detailed nose, red lips, and wire chinstrap — a premium variation that is significantly more desirable than the standard cartoon-face versions among serious collectors.
