You can definitely see evidence of the scissor marks on the lettering ... had this been screen printed, they would look more smooth. Unless they utilized an open stencil that was cut from hand...?

I think the original pennant was made by ADFLAG; and to my knowledge they always screen printed their pennants using the conventional method.

Yeah I’ll know right away. The seller seems like a quality guy, I’ll say that much.

Here's mine vs this oddity...

What it looks like, compared to yours, is that the letters were cut out in small straight lines. Like with a utility knife.

The lack of detail jumps out to me. The face looks almost like a Michael Myers mask and he's missing the top part of his hat. The intricate cuts look like they were quite a struggle for the maker too. I asked the seller if the graphics and lettering were stuck on and he said he couldn't tell. Definitely appears as if they are.

Yep I agree.

Looks like this one was crafted by either Tim Carroll or Ben Caraher.

I didn't know they were doing pennants now! :rolleyes:

Received the "pennant". Total fugazi. Can tell within 0.5 seconds upon seeing it in person. Graphics are cut out and glued on, also they are painted by hand to match. Looks very sloppy up close. You can see pencil marks where the cutting was not precise, and the cuts are in small straight lines as if an exacto knife was used. Keeping it in the pennant holder for the pics was a shrewd move by the seller.

Anyway, seller refuses to accept return, says this is my "opinion", insists it is authentic, and tried to educate me on pennants. He even sent me a link to KB's weebly blog (which allowed me to tell him that my pictures are actually used on the site). Anyway I had to report him to eBay, they should protect me for this. Hopefully they do something about the seller who will almost certainly pass this along to someone else.

What a piece of sh*t seller. Ebay will inevitably rule in your favor, but it will take a few days before they can render a judgement and refund your money.

Sorry you have to go through the ordeal... but no worries, you'll be covered.

Thanks Mark. Get a load of his reply to eBay for my refund request. Even says I might be right that it is homemade but sent them a link to KBs blog. What a bad dude.

It gets worse! (I sent the seller and eBay a link to this thread.)
