Value Village hunter turns $3 hockey bobblehead into $10,000 - New Brunswick - CBC News

A very lucky find on a trip to the used goods store Value Village has landed a Fredericton man a $10,000 windfall.

Normand McDonald has sold his extremely rare bobblehead doll of a hockey player to a collector from New York state.

I like that he's donating some of his good fortune to charity.  Great story.

Yes, good on him.

I also thought it was interesting that he owned it for seven or eight years before investigating its history and checking its value.
