Thanks guys. Yes, the mat was hand cut.

Cutting a single mat around those tassels is impressive but having a double mat line up is off the charts! I doubt your framer is cheap. :cool:

I declined an offer of $6,000 US for the Ali-Chuvalo pennant before spending $500 CDN on the custom framing job.

I'm so pissed tonight. I got screwed out of 2 beautiful vintage pennants in an online auction because their system malfunctioned and they say that they can't do anything about it.

You're pissed? At least it was a technical issue. I picked up this beauty on ebay tonight. Made an offer. Seller countered. I accepted and paid. Then 30 minutes later, she cancels the sale and sends me a message saying she received a better offer...A whopping $200 more.

Imagine being that much of a scumbag you'd sabotage someone elses purchase. How empty must your life be that getting a pennant is that important to you? Luckily no one here would do that.

That definitely sucks. Sorry to hear that.

OMG, that sucks, so sorry Rob. I hope the seller still left a fortune on the table in spite of her perfidy.

“Luckily”. I’m sure this is “to be continued”

I believe this pennant is from 1945 based on the style. I have many of the Yankees versions and believe this version in the photo is the style from 1938. This was part of a group that sold all together and was described as being bought at the World Series. I have posted this previously as well.

Here is a photo of the back tag from this style that I have in my collection.
