Scott, did you know this existed prior to the National? You must have been psyched to see it.

Hi Jon,
Thank you for the nice comments.
Yes, I actually did know of this pennant's existence. Cincinnati Reds collector and friend Chris Gamble (net54) owned it and had shared pictures of it with me in the past.
Chris actually offered to sell it to me as we were both en route to The National in Chicago. We'll call this the best pickup that never touched the actual show room floor...
It's a very scarce pennant (only a small hand full are known to exist), so I definitely am thrilled to add it to my advanced Vander Meer collection. I believe that this pennant was sold at the 1938 All Star game at Crosley Field, where Vandy was the starting and winning pitcher that year for the NL squad.
