1952 Pennant and Pinback Order Form - KI-CI Company
 

Interesting order form I found inside a 1952 baseball Illustrated magazine.

Great post Dan....

The most interesting part (to me) is verification that these Pins did indeed come with a specific set of original Ribbons and Charms. Many advanced Pinback Collectors adamantly state that the Ribbons and Charms add no real value, because they were randomly added on by a street vendor after the fact.

But in this instance, it is clear that there are original Ribbons and Charms. Also interesting is the fact that they're referred to as "Badges".

As for the pennants, it must have been a small leap of faith to order without any picture or image. Must've been a big element of surprise when these arrived in the mail.

Different times, for sure... Good stuff!

Thanks for posting the order form. I'm pretty sure that the Santa Clara one from this order is in my collection, but it is hard to tell. There are so many similar, but different versions.

Here are a couple of ads for pennants that I found in the same magazine. Not sure why the second pic is flipped sideways, I rotated it and saved it to my computer. Windows 10 photo editor sucks compared to their previous version which you can no longer upload. I'm curious as to what those emblems were and also the free Sport-o-graphs that were given out with every order.

I can’t decide if I love or hate seeing those prices! :p
