Part of the problem is its condition, I'm not sure what the original colors were (I'm guessing blue, but who knows?).

Located in Mike Egner's first guide, page 43. "1940's, Rare, $250-350" (assume in good condition)

It was indeed blue. Too much sun over the years has turned it grey, as is typical for these blue pennants with the thinner style felt. For whatever reason, the thin blue felt didn't hold its color, unless very well protected/preserved.

That's a toughie. Nice example too...

I do the same exact thing... upgrade when a good one surfaces, and get what you can for the lesser example. I usually get killed on the deal, but guess that's the price you pay for being picky :o

Rob, The Cards pennant if full sized. I have another very similar.
