I found one previous listing on Mears from 2011 here: https://www.mearsonlineauctions.com/...-lot42422.aspx

My one certainly isn't mint but it's one that that I've not seen before and it didn't cost much.

I love the crossover with Burger Beer. I’m from Ohio, so I remember Burgie!

I've had a couple of those Reds pennants. I'd say the sweet spot (depending on condition) is somewhere around $300. I've seen outliers go significantly higher and lower.

What's interesting to me...I believe mine were stiffer material, which makes it odd to see a hole in yours. Does anyone know if they made a cloth or felt version as well. Also, the spine has the tell tale narrow seams of a reproduction, though I don't think this pennant was ever reproduced. If it has, I've never seen it. If you look at Mitchell & Ness pennants they have those close together seams.

Lastly, I know sellers sometimes treat pennants like they're from another planet. They have no idea how to handle them...but why do so many sellers not take the easy step of at least flattening the pennant out so it presents better. I see pictures like this time and again.

That’s when you get the deals!

This is what the spine has looked like on the ones I had. Out closer to the edge of the spine so there's not as much excess material on the outside of the seams.

+1

I look for those places where they don't know how to display them or possibly describe them incorrectly. It's how bargains are found.

I picked this up for $37 so I might have gotten a bargain. I'll post better photos when I get it and can make a better assessment.

Any idea who made them?

Mine looks like Rob's. Great buy on the first one, despite the odd spine and condition issues. I have never seen a cloth version... only felt.

Looks to me that the pennant body is original but maybe - just a guess based on the pic - the spine was added later, perhaps as a repair. There’s a pretty big difference in the space between spine and graphics in the two pennants. Cool pennant either way.

The Reds sure had some weird pennants around this time. I just picked up an oversized 1961 pic pennant for some dumb reason, it’s ugly and weird shaped and really strange. Went straight to a tub. I’ll post a pic when I get home.
