Pennant collectors
I am sure many of you noticed a recent group of three old ones on Ebay: 1927 Pirates, 1920 Indians, 1920 Dodgers. Curious to know your thoughts. I am convinced they are old; the style of pennant has certainly been seen before, notably in St. Louis pennants (Browns and Cardinals dated 1939) but they are not particularly common. These Champions pennants could have been made as part of a series. I seem to recall a dated '19 White Sox pennant that was similar? That one supposedly sold for over 10K somewhere, forget where I read that. The other peculiar thing was the color of the graphic; kinda hard to see as it is made of the exact same paint as that on the wide end.
Anyway, if anyone studied these and has any thoughts or even pictures of simiar ones in your collection, I'd be curious. As a collector myself I like to learn and discuss them whether I own them or not. Thanks and Happy New Year!
