I remember watching the commercials for the Fathead wall stick-em posters when they came out about two years ago.  Back then, I thought they were a great idea.  Giant, life-sized reusable wall posters of athletes in action poses!  My walls were a bit empty, and I was looking for something to fill up space.  I should get a Fathead!  Then I saw their price.  Friggin $150.  One hundred and fifty dollars.

A couple of days ago, I saw a forum posting saying that some Fatheads are $19.95.  $150 for a wall poster? No way.  But $20? That sounds reasonable.  I go check out the website and see that they are clearing out older versions for $20.  If you want a Shaquille O'Neal / Miami Heat Fathead or a Ray Allen / Seattle SuperSonics Fathead, here's your chance.  The regular price of the Fathead has dropped to around $100.  Much better than $150, but still way above what I'm willing to spend.

The Golden State Warriors aren't getting a lot of love from Fatheads.  There is only one Fathead associated with the Warriors, and its an out of stock, outdated Jason Richardson version.  There isn't even a Golden State Warriors team logo Fathead.  No love for the dubs.

The San Francisco 49ers have a few Fatheads available.  They have Joe Montana and Jerry Rice in their Legends series, as well as current players Frank Gore and Alex Smith.  No one must be buying the Alex Smith version, as it is priced to move at $19.95.  Even at that price, it hasn't sold out yet.

Bargain hunters and San Francisco Giants fans will be delighted to hear that a Barry Zito / San Francisco Giants Fathead is specially priced at $29.95.  If you can stand to wait a couple of months, I'm thinking the price will drop to $19.95 by the end of the season.
