Another thing to look for as far as determining repro vs legit ... the thread used to sew the spine. By the 80s they were using a plastic-like thread. Hard to describe but when you compare to vintage pennants it jumps out at you.

Here are other repros, maybe from the same lot, often they are passed on as “vintage” on eBay

Thank you.

My main way of avoiding repros, which I have to say after the comments on this thread about my collection have shown that I have done a pretty good job of, is in regards to purchasing habits. I made the decision long ago to buy mostly from well know and / or reputable sellers. If anything gives me pause, I just avoid it. "Auction fever" is not my style.

I have learned in my quest for baseball magazine supplements that there is always another one lurking in the future. Although that Newcombe portrait version m114 that I missed will keep bugging me until that legendary "another one" finally makes an appearance. Hahaha.

Doug,
You have a really great pennant collection. I’m a big fan. You have some real tough ones in that group. I like the fact that you have so many examples. I have a number of similar Yankees ones that match some of yours. Great group.

The New York Giants isn’t even a good looking pennant. :p

I agree with everyone here, Doug. Nice thorough Dodgers collection.

Based on some of your other posts, I was hoping to hear that you picked these up traveling around the country for music related events.

This one’s a bit late but I’m watching a documentary on the history of the STL Browns and snapped this pic

Regarding pennant colors ... here’s one that looks spray painted instead of screened.

I would guess airbrushed. Nice pennant!

love it !!!

Sadly, I'm not sure that I have ever picked one up on the road, and I have been to hundreds of baseball card stores (back when they still existed) and hundreds of second hand stores / antique malls (one of my bosses, the one who likes Disneyland, loves stopping at them on our drives).

But, never having found one doesn't stop me from always looking.

Doug
