Indians Pennants on Pawn Stars.

[GrayGhost]

This weeks Pawn Stars had two awesome looking 1948 Indians pennants, and got 500.00 for the pair. Good deal?

I was watching. I thought $500 would be market but i also no nothing about pennants.

Five to 10 years ago, the combined retail value of those two pennants was in the $500 range. Today I bet you would pay $175-$200 each on eBay.

Here's a scan of one of one of them (not the actual one from the show). I own the other version but don't have a scan. The other version features a scroll of the roster of players, which always is desirable to collectors, but I think the pennant below is tougher.

Well, of course the guy had them framed up and such, and they APPEARED to be in really nice shape.

I'm surprised they didn't edit out Rick's stupidity.....

"There was no Major League Baseball during the war."

Good point, Dan. I think my response to that line scared my neighbors.

What war? The Korean War?

edited to add: The pennant was for 1948. I hope he did not mean WWII.

This is the other pennant Rick bought and can be purchased BIN for $249. I missed his comment about baseball being cancelled during the war. I was probably paying too much attention to the pennants rather than listen to Ricks "expert" opinion on the subject. I think the signed Lou Gehrig jersey fiasco is proof that his knowledge of expertise excludes sports memorabelia.
