Yeah....Not sure what the point of adding that was. In addition to not being true (unless he knew the guy who submitted to H&S), I don't see how it will add to the sale price.

Is that the pennant version of "this car was owned by a little old lady from Pasadena"? :)

Maybe he should've added that his pennants were gently driven.

He does that a lot. Same seller flipped this one immediately from H&S, and I was happy to get it. In Huggins, it was grouped with a bunch of travel/souvenir pennants.

Anyway, I'd never seen this image of Chief Wahoo before, and have been collecting these forever. Surprised it didn't go for more...

I was watching that lot too Mark. That Cleveland pennant was the only one I was interested in. I ended up not bidding though. Any idea what year that's from?

That’s a crazy Cleveland Indians pennant. Everything about it....the font, the colors, Chief Wahoo....is unique!

Is that pennant orange or brown?

It’s predominantly orange. And I’d say early to mid 50s is a safe bet for this one, based on the material and design. Kind of goofy looking, and polically, it’s no better than the other Chief Wahoos... maybe worse. But must confess I do love it, despite its repulsiveness. :o

Seals E-bay
 

So... at the risk of outing an auction... I just saw this pennant on e-bay, along with a few other similar ones from the same seller (Hollywood Stars, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Braves). It is a BIN as opposed to a regular auction, so I figured that it would be ok if I raised a question about it (and the others listed by the seller, I guess).

I have what I believe to be an original of this pennant and it differs from this one in several different, but pretty subtle ways. At first glance, it looks right (in many ways). Has anyone ever seen these before? More modern versions of these pennants? By Mitchell and Ness or someone similar?

Saw that one...He says "vintage but not original". What does that mean?

^^^^ that thing has GOT to be repro.....unless it’s been hermetically sealed in an underground vault for the last 60+ years. I would love to see your version.

It means that these are not original pennants, but are vintage.... meaning they are reproductions that were produced a while back (not recent reproductions).

Ideally, the seller could've explained this in more detail, but at least he notes it, and has them priced accordingly (close to the amount M&N Repro Pennants typically sell for). It's hard to believe many people would be fooled by these.
