Hey Rob-

1) the whole double listing thing sounds a little fishy.

2) I think those two New York Giants pennent were the only pennants in that lot with a value of any more than maybe 5 bucks apiece. If the Giants pennants are real, they are Keezer pennants and very nice. I think they date to the 1950's (not earlier) and there are mini versions of the same. Getting two of them for $26 would have been a big time steal.

Easily $50 ea. pennants, IMO. Maybe/probably more.

Those Giants are reprint pennants worth about $5

Yeah, looking at those again, they seem a little off.

I hope mine is not a reprint. I'm led to believe the SF is also a Keezer, based on the discussion that started on page 63 of this thread...

Also, despite what I mentioned earlier regarding being ok with $58, I think UPS parcel post would be much cheaper. I just made the comment because it was 150 pennants and figured you were working off of higher dollar amount pennants. I think given everything you have described, I would be a little salty too.

Give the the news, Jason. I can take it. :p

Those are both real vintage pennants. The ones in the auction are made like the royal blue Brooklyn Dodgers ones that you oftentimes see being described as "authentic"

Thanks for that. My annoyance meter is now down to just three beers. I should be completely un-annoyed by about 7:00 pm tonight. ;)

I'm guessing the tell tale sign that these are re-prints is the material from which they're made?

One more question...How widespread is the practice of reprinting old pennants? Why was this one in particular reprinted? It's not particularly breathtaking.

That's two questions...but don't hassle me. I'm annoyed. :D

That is a main factor. On these, I could immediately tell just by seeing the tips sticking out. They are made of the thin synthetic material that all post 70's pennants (for the most part) are made out of. If you are a pennant collector and dont want to spend $100-150, they are just fine. Collect what you like to collect. You may change your mind in the future and want to refine your collection, but the good news is you didn't pay too much for them.
