Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-VINTAG...d&LH_Auction=1

Who are the suckers paying high dollar for non period pennants? There is also a vintage "1946" Red Sox pennant currently for sale. I guess because these were produced many years ago, I think mid-late 70's, the vintage label isn't being deceptive. However claiming vintage and leaving out the date of manufacture its aim is to take advantage of the novice collector.

It is a problem for the novice (me) trying to determine what is of the period and what is a reproduction. I am just trying to put together some decent looking pennants for a ceiling project in the hobby room.

I have been collecting for a few decades and I never gave pennants a second thought until I became a member here. I am amazed at what has managed to survive the decades. The colors, variations is unreal. The information on this thread is invaluable but I need someone to look over my shoulder while I peruse pennants on ebay!

I am just interested in creating one or two circular patterns like this collector:

Thanks again for all the great tips. I did pick up a little wire hanging display this weekend, which I haven't photographed. But I did do the wheel of pennants with some too...here's how that came out.

JF Kennedy Cup

Can’t be too many of these floating around. I had a jersey from a team from a Vancouver that played in this tourney, in’67, representing Canada.

“The cup competition made it’s debut in 1961, guaranteeing the participation of players from the entire west coast of the United States and President Kennedy lent his name to the trophy as a component of his physical fitness campaign. He had established a Council on Youth Fitness as early as 1956, but, once he was president, Kennedy retitled the program as The President’s Council on Physical Fitness. The Cup is unique, in that it is the only sporting award President Kennedy ever put his name to. The cup competition, known as the Pacific Coast International Championship, ran from1961 to 1967 and was largely dominated by the Mexican Select sides.

Hey, Dean - would you like to be sent "good deals" (via PM) on eBay? Every once in a while, I see Giants pennants I already own but think, "Damn, that's a good deal!" There's one such $30 pennant on there, right now. I'll bet other guys see such "deals" as well.
