Kind of what I thought. I'm not bidding, but the orange and black gave me pause until I did a little quick research. The NY Giants wore plaid :eek: in 1916 and pinstripes in 1917. I believe the colors were either purple or blue or black. Does anyone know the color(s) of the 1917 uniform?

He did the same with this one.

1919 Cincinnati Reds 3/4 Size Vintage World Series Baseball Pennant Black Sox

$571

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Maybe the buyer has a photo of it at a game or something. I highly doubt it. I would not buy it for $50 as I have never seen an example like that in any photo I have seen and I try to pay close attention to early photos of pennants as many others do too. If someone on here did buy it and want to enlighten me, I would love to hear the rest of the story.

I know this NY pennant has come up in the past and sellers have tried to attribute it to the Giants. I think we all believe it is a major stretch to attribute it specifically to baseball . Even if a photo were to surface of someone holding it at a stadium who is to say the gibrone didn't just bring it to the ball park from home. Agreed $50 at most for this generic pennant.

This sweet pennant is up on ebay. I'll stick with my beat to hell example.

Thats a nice one!

It seems that nodder prices are almost back but why is the pennant market taking so long to recover?

Starting price is way too high. It has a rip at the upper-left that extends out to the border (which the seller discloses, but sort of Poo-Poos). And he compares it to the early Mastro example which was sold at the absolute peak of the market (and was likely shilled, at that). I would think $500 is a good aggressive starting price, and then see where it goes from there.

I am probably in the top 2% of prospective buyers for this pennant (along with Rob), but even I must sit this one out :o

High-end/Oversized/Dated pennants are realizing great prices, as they've really dried up. It's the mid-range and more common variations that are floundering. Of course this represents the vast majority of those for sale.

It's all just supply and demand. Right now the supply exceeds the demand for the more commonly seen pennants.
