Rob:

Most (95%) of the fake or repro pennants seem to have those raised velvet type of graphics. I think that the majority are manufactured by Mitchell & Ness. The designs are clearly not screened on, but even the likes of Mastro and Lelands have featured a couple (which I've had to call them on). They have subsequently been withdrawn in each case. I am not familiar with the process, but it is apparent at first glance, that these raised velvet repro's are different.

Have you been seeing many fake ones with painted or screened graphics? I recall seeing a number of Brooklyn Dodgers and NY Giants, but these have been lingering for quite a while. If there are other new ones circulating, this is indeed a concern.
