His earlier response to me, after proving its origin to him:

“Read this listing it is 100% accurate. I have over $100,00 of t-206 to 1956 Topps PSA cards. And autograph of Baseball legends. I know the collection industry. Enough said.”

What a joke. Anyone with a brain can tell in a split second that the "1954 Giants Pennant" is a fake. And there's a bid on it, no less. :confused:

Exact same pennant now being auctioned. Starting bid of $0.99. Pictured on a round white table.

Shocker (about the round white table). If you want to disclose which one it is, I'll be sure not to bid on it. :rolleyes:

I’ll reach out, though it shouldn’t keep you from bidding. For the record, I think the obvious “modus operandi” of buying to flip is fine. But if a completed sale was meddled with … that’s not quite fine. There are worse selling tactics but still, this seems to cross a line of it is what it seems.

He’s a jerk. Enough said.

In the old days of ebay, we’d be able to reach out to the buyer who’s about to get duped.

Any chance you could get it cheaper than your original offer?

Or will you not deal with the new seller?

Nah my guess is he offered more than I did after the fact knowing he will still turn a profit from the flip. I’m not gonna bother bidding. eBay should have firm policies regarding third parties meddling with completed sales, if in fact that’s what happened (as it appears).

If you look closely at the pennant, there are minor flaws that don’t seem natural. Those pennants don’t crack or chip.

Somebody posted this as a 1915 Red Sox pennant. I'm a card guy, not a pennant guy. Can anybody help with this one?

If it is 10” by 30” then it *might* be a Detroit Free Press Red Sox pennant from the time, as they made city-only pennants for the A.L. teams. I think these pennants have two-colored tassels, also this pennant doesn’t seem to size up. Otherwise it’s pure speculation as far as year and team/sport.
