I believe that the Reds and Tigers were the only teams to put out these Silk Banners for their championship teams (someone please correct me if that's wrong).
They are scarce, and a bidding war ensues each time one comes to auction. A 1940 Reds one (with major condition issues) recently hit ebay. Just too tattered for my liking, but I do have these three toughies. The 1961 Reds/Yankees Banner always commands a premium, as it is coveted by Yankee fans as well...
