Congrats on the trade Rob. What's the pennant?

My latest pickup arrived in the mail this week

This is an amazing pennant. I also have it, but have never seen another. Nice pick up

You'd think, with all the effort to do a pretty good job in making this look almost passable, they would've take more care to use an authentic spine. I've seen this style of Packers pennant a hundred times. I think I have two of them. And I've never seen a spine on them that looked like that.

That's scary good for a repro, and a copout by Jonsstats, who surely knows better. "I WILL LET THE BIDDERS DECIDE EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS." In other words, "I have sold 87,000 items and bidders rely on my expertise, but in this case I'm claiming ignorance because it good enough to get substantial bidding." BS, that's all.

Are there other Yankees with this pennant? If not, why in the world Rizzuto? As good as he was, he was never more than the fourth or fifth best player on his teams. What's the year on this, do you think?

+1. Just be honest and forthright. Your reputation is worth far more than a few extra bucks.

Early 1950s. Perhaps they were honoring Rizzuto for something at Yankee Stadium on that particular day. It is legit, and I have seen a few over the years. That one looks like it came from Hunt Auctions' recent I/P event.

Granted, Rizzuto was never their biggest star, and no other specific Yankee players have surfaced. It's just one of those one-offs that seem to remain a mystery. The Tigers had a similar pennant that commemorates Johnny Groth, of all people... who is way more obscure than Rizzuto!

Co-signed. If something is not authentic or original, just say so.

Speaking of Groth … that weird 1960 WGN Pirates pennant with the misspellings and “Groth” instead of “Groat” just sold on eBay. The pennant you refer to is also WGN and Groat is from Chicago and his father was an electrotype salesman. May have done business with the company!

Actually, this is no repro and I shouldn't have referred to it as such. It's an out-and-out fake, intended to deceive, with cracked paint, wool, and all. Best fake pennant I've ever seen, wrong spine notwithstanding, and if whoever made this gets more active, it could prove disruptive and lead to the slabbing and grading of pennants.
