If you were in the market for one of these, you’re out of luck.  A 3-foot Joe Paterno bobblehead recently sold for $2,995.00 on eBay (that’s about $1,000 a foot)!  And I don’t know which is worse, the seller for taking advantage of JoePa’s death or the buyer for being that … big of a fan. The description begins by saying, Up for bid is something so special I don’t even know if I should be putting it up!  This is a Limited Edition Joe Paterno 3 Foot High Penn State Bobblehead! (YES…. I said it correctly, 3 FEET HIGH!!!)  There were only 500 of these made and I have #113 out of 500.  Joseph Vincent Paterno, 409 Wins!  my hero, a true legend in every sense of the word!  Screw the media and the haters!  One reason I am selling it is that I just discovered family in Norway and I have never been there.  It has always been my dream to go there so if Joe Paterno can help me get there, it’s just one more accomplishment I will tack on to his leg...
