Honoring The Sharpshooter

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled two officially licensed, limited-edition bobbleheads of Oakland University sharpshooter Jack Gohlke on Friday. Gohlke became one of the biggest stars of the 2024 NCAA Tournament with his performances in Oakland’s upset win over Kentucky and Second Round near-upset of Final Four participant NC State.

The officially licensed bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in October, are available at this link. Each bobblehead, which will be individually numbered to only 2,024, is $30 plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. The bobbleheads, which are the first featuring Jack Gohlke, are being produced in conjunction with Gohlke by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Oakland University.

Earlier this month, the Museum released bobbleheads featuring Oakland’s longtime coach, Greg Kampe ($30) and Oakland’s mascot, Grizz ($35). The bobbleheads of Greg Kampe feature the coach wearing his Golden Grizzlies pullover with one available in white and one in black. The bobblehead of Grizz features Oakland’s mascot in his black Oakland jersey on a base with Oakland’s logo.

“We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Jack Gohlke and Oakland to release these bobbleheads celebrating one of March’s biggest stars,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “Jack’s legendary performances will be remembered by fans across the world who were captivated by his incredible performances, and we know they’re going to love Jack’s first bobbleheads.”

My name is Kevin Czerwinski and I am a sportswriter/college professor in New York. I have been collecting bobbleheads for nearly 20 years and have recently become more involved in online chats, swap groups and raffles for bobbleheads. I primarily collect baseball but enjoy talking about and seeing new nodders.
