Walking into Dr. Chad Brinton’s office, it seems almost like a museum — a bobblehead museum. There are several different kinds of bobbleheads, ranging from presidents to musicians to a Royals announcer from the early 2000s that talks.

One of Brinton’s favorite bobbleheads is the George Brett figure. Brett is a former Royals player.

“George Brett was my favorite athlete when I was growing up,” Brinton said.

Brinton’s wife recently bought him three members of the band Rush.

“Those three are probably my next favorite due to their uniqueness and the fact that I am a lifelong fan of that band,” Brinton said.

Brinton has been collecting bobbleheads for about 15 years and has amassed a collection of dozens of figures. He also owns a couple of rare bobbleheads that can sell for more than $100.

Some exclusive figures in his collection are Denny Matthews, a Royals broadcaster and an original Mike Sweeney bobblehead, which includes an actual cloth hat that rests on his oversized head.

The first bobblehead that Brinton owned is showcased in his office as well. The Brinton bobblehead collection began when he bought a Harry S. Truman bobblehead, along with a couple other historical figures and presidents from a closeout sale at Metro North Mall.

Brinton said he has plans to expand his collection.

“I am now solely committed to completing my Royals collection,” Brinton said. “The difficult part is that as the team has become better, the prices of the Royals bobbleheads has risen dramatically.”

Catching a case of “Skip School-itus” is popular among teenagers, and talking to Dr. Brinton is how to fix attendance issues. So the next time this happens, pay a visit to his office, and take a look around. People who like the Steelers, Royals, Bearcats, have a patriotic side, cheer for the Tigers, or listen to the band “Rush” are sure to find a character in the Brinton Bobblehead Collection that they will like.
