Football finally made it to the big leagues…

Wow! How rare is that Bills pennant? Do you think this is because the Bills have been a decent team lately? Or because this happens to be rare/relatively good condition?

The funny thing about this Cubs pennant is that this graphic is the one usually used in the early 40’s and not late 40’s. Weird how they obviously are recently made, but have different graphic designs.

It's pretty rare. One sold at Huggins & Scott for $1300 about 5 or so years ago. Nicer condition than this one, which has some chunks missing out of the top edge and near the tip.

This Bills team is completely unrelated to the current one though I imagine that might not matter much to a die hard Buffalo collector.

I am not sure but I think that St Louis pennant may be a repro. Here is a picture of an original. Colors are different

It always kind of bugged me how they’re called the “Bills”, but their mascot has forever been a simple Buffalo. They are named after Buffalo Bill Cody… right?

Assuming so, this is the only example I can recall seeing with the appropriate mascot. Great looking pennant!

I can’t see anything at all to indicate the framed one is a reproduction. What am I missing?

St Louis pennant
 

On the framed St. Louis pennant there are two shades of blue. ON the original there is only one dark shade of blue throughout. I do not own the original but have a large photo of the original and it definitely has only one shade of blue.
Secondly, notice how well centered St louis is in the framed version and how much lower the same words are in the original.

See posts 6363 and 6364. Mike took a picture of one. I actually bought it in a BIN in April 2022 and the seller never delivered or responded after purchase. Had to be reimbursed by eBay. It appears to be similar to the one framed … here’s a pic from Mike’s post, which came from the eBay listing, along with the clear tube the seller claimed the pennant came in.

Clean Sweep has this 46 pennant currently up for auction along with a very nice 44 Tiger pennant. I own the orange version of the 46 pennant and other than the one I have I have never seen these come up for auction.
