They're legit. Just lower quality.

Completely agree with Jason. All are original/authentic. Some seldom-seen styles and neat variations, even if a bit cheaper in nature. I've heard these often referred to as "vendor pennants". Meaning they were not likely ever sold inside the stadium. Rather, they were hawked by vendors in the streets outside the stadiums.
Given the number of seldom-seen examples in this group, it's possible that the consignor was friends/relatives of a street vendor. The fact that these were folded/put away (and apparently never hung) might further substantiate that theory. Regardless, it was neat to see some new ones turn up like that. |

That Cincinnati banner is sort of the same, but different. Different fabric, etc but make great display pieces. There were a few of those Indians style banners on eBay recently from Yankees and Dodgers that were in good shape. You do not see those very often at all. I believe I bid on all three, but did not end up with any of them. They did not go as high as I thought they should have given the rarity. The very rare banner style pennants are the ones that are in the Killebrew items thread that look like a shield with a player photo in there. Very rare. Also some of the early championship banners that are seldom seen. Most advanced collectors need those for their collections creating heavy interest and bidding. If you need that Cleveland banner you should be able to get it for less than $150. Good luck. Jason |
Of course as I wrote this I noticed it is already at $142. He gets some good action due to very nice selection of sports memorabilia. Don't be afraid to wait for the next one rather than overpay for this one

Picked these up today at a local junk shop. Can anyone tell me what year they are from and if they have any value. I got them for $2.00 a piece so i figured i couldn't go wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

One of what you have is, obviously, a 1959 Bazooka pennant. The others are more generic and of an unknown issue. As you said, you couldn't go wrong for 2 bucks apiece. Bazooka also offered patches but I'm not sure of the time frame for those.
