Sad that there are 15 bids... it's fakeness is so painfully obvious. As if an authentic 1954 Giants pennant would have a vague image of Mays making his famous over the shoulder catch. :eek:

I remember getting into a pissing match with SCP 8-10 years ago. They had the 1955 Dodgers Mitchell & Ness counterpart to this one... equally obvious in its fakeness. It had gotten bid up over $500 when I told them to take it down. They put up a fight and insisted that the consignor's father bought it at the '55 World Series at Ebbets Field. I had to show them 3 identical examples that were currently on the market (for under $40) before they finally removed it.

Y’all probably saw he re-listed it with a vague disclaimer of “may or may not be vintage.” Some poor schmo is out $180+ when tax and shipping are included.

What’s weird is the airbrushed cap. He had only played with the Cubs, 1965 through 1971 before his trade to Oakland. What other cap could he be wearing? I can only think of a trademark/copyright issue with the team… the “Cub Power” cloth pennants seem to date to approx. 1969.

What's the chance that that Holtzman pennant is a fantasy piece? The fabric looks different to the other Cubs Power editions. This is the back of my My Ernie Banks Pennant from the series. It has the MLBPA logo but not the Copyright text above it. It also has the name and address of All Sports Company. (My full size Cubs Power pennant has exactly the same).

Besides all of that...what are the odds that anyone would produce a pennant for Ken Holtzman?

No it’s legit, cloth, just smaller than typical. It has the MLBPA trademark and the copyright symbol under Cub Power. I’m guessing they had pennants for at least the top Cubs players, and Holtzman was a 17 game winner in 1969.

Let’s see the front of that sweet Ernie pennant!

Thanks. I'll add that Holtzman to my catalog. I wonder if they issued one for each of the other players in that 12 player photo?

Here's my Ernie Banks pennant and the 3 player full size version plus a 1960 ASG pennant that's a new arrival this week.

Help on a couple of new to me items

I picked up on a few pennants and am wondering if anybody can help identify the year of these two pennants.

The first is a Cardinals. Found similar but not the same. Believe it is a 1960"s era.

The second is a hockey pennant. Toronto Maple Leafs. Believe it is of 1960"s era also. Anybody know about hockey pennants?

Randy,

That Cardinals could be anywhere from 1960-75. I’d guess late 60s. Can’t tell for sure but it looks like the stiffer felt which would make towards the later end.

The Maple Leafs is ??? … I think this was made by a Canadian company … this kinda resembles others that were also made without a spine from the 1967-68 era - but not exact. It could be earlier. They will both look nice on your wall!

There is a hockey series made right around the time of expansion, they all have the same painted spine. They are also cloth. I have noticed many destination pennants of Canadian towns and cities that look like this.

These leave something to be desired

Brings a whole new meaning to "3/4 size" pennant. :rolleyes:

The color is outstanding! :p
