Gorgeous pennant pair, Rob! Love the artwork on both. And the condition is just crazy for pennants that are over 100 years old. Way to make lemonade out of lemons during this horrific drought!

Well the good news is that the drought has increased demand for what we all have. Been noticing an uptick in prices realized for not terribly uncommon 1950s team pennants. Even if we aren’t sellers, at some point we will want to move them along ... I’m not too far from starting the process with what I have in storage tubs. I think it seems this way because our collections have grown quite a bit. Even the live auctions aren’t very interesting.

Another solution: let’s trade! We should have Pennant Collector Winter Meetings!

Here’s a recent find of mine with what seems to be a tough variation (tassels and font).

These are very very cool, detail is amazing ...

This drives me nuts by the way .... definite repro but always sold as if it was original .... currently has a pretty high bid. I only know of three Pilots pennants

1. The mucho cool white cloth ASCO
2. The red Trench (slight variations, with and without tassels, font of Seattle)
3. A red AdFlag, somewhat unsightly

There’s also a red repro resembling #2 that has been making some rounds.

Hey Greg- just curious, but what points to repo/made at a later date on that one? The MLB logo? The material? Something else? Do you think it was sold as some kind of commemorative item?

Hey Marc ... the MLB logo for one, it resembles late 70s/early 80s used for other teams ... and it is thin paper felt.

Definite repro upon first glance. Even if it had the softest wool felt, the MLB logo would give it away.

So, what do you guys think about this white one? No logo. Autographs could have been collected after 1969, of course.

And, is this red one the Adflag? I kind of like it.

Oh my god .... THE DOOLEY WOMACK! That’s awesome. Interesting no trademark. But it still looks like 70s/80s material to me. Easily overcome by the autographs. And yes that’s the presumed-to-be Ad Flag pennant. It’s a tough one for sure. I’m not a fan because they don’t use the Pilots official logo/font which was way cool. Egner guide incorrectly lists the white with MLB logo as authentic.
