That old thread was a fun read. Mark do you still have that 1939 Baseball Centennial pennant?

Many thanks to Mike K. for finding that! What a fun look back at my first-ever net54 posts.... funny thing is that I'm not much better at posting pics now than I was back then. Hard to believe that was almost exactly 17 years ago! :eek:

Well, I wouldn't place a wager on that one these days (any more than I'd bet on the Reds to win the World Series). :o

[QUOTE=Fballguy;2470571]Whoa Mark...Top 3 in 2007? Imagine where you rank now?! :)

Well I have added some nice ones for sure, but also let go of many that were irreplaceable (including that oversized Red Sox that I led off with :( )

Thank goodness there's no "registry" for pennants, but if there was, I have a feeling that there's a father and son duo from Wisconsin and a super collector from NJ who have surpassed me. Not to mention a dealer/collector from Texas with the jaw-dropping Red Sox collection and a few other guys who prefer to remain anonymous!

Hey Gary...

That Baseball Centennial Pennant was just a joke I played, that I had completely forgotten about. I had a piece of blank blue felt, and placed a Centennial Sleeve Patch and cut-out pictures of a bat and ball on top of the felt.

Totally fake.... There was a bunch of bogus and fake memorabilia on Ebay being passed off as real back then. So I thought it was pretty funny at the time to parody it. If you go back and read it, you'll see that it was never intended to deceive.

Hope all is well,
Mark

Ebay's been absolutely dead lately...as has just about every other site. But then when you least expect it...the grind pays off. These have been sitting in a chest in an attic in Eastern PA for at least the last half of their lives. And now they've been freed.

:eek:

Did YOU get them??????

Fantastic find indeed.

OMG! These were on eBay? Has to be the greatest pennant find ever.
