Exciting pennant find...well I think it's exciting LOL
 

I've been a pennant and Cubs collector for a loooong time and have never seen this piece before. I found it on ebay and was astounded when I won it for the opening bid. I'm assuming most who viewed it believed it to be a mini and passed it by. It is full sized (29") and of the heavy lush felt of the 30s and 40s. There are some cracks in the paint, but I LOVE the graphics. It's always a thrill to add a previously undiscovered piece to my collection and I thought I had seen every Cub pennant made...keep hunting folks.

Nice work Mike. Its always nice to find something new and intresting! Good for you!:D

That's a cool one. Congrats.

Awesome find. Always great to find something you never seen before.

Great job Mike. Finding something new and winning it for a fair price is such a fleeting feeling in today's hobby -way to go. Enjoy it.

I dont know Mike looks to me that this is turning out to be a pat me on the back posting!!!:D:D

Much patting of the backing is good Al...work with me!!!

Nice pickup!

Sweet Pennant. Congrats on the find!

Mike, very nice! Congrats!

Great piece. Congrats on the pick up.

Mike

Adds even more incentive to keep looking for gems we never knew about

Awesome pennant and great story!

I saw this one on there for $100 or so and knew I had not ever seen this one before. My only interest would be for resale and I couldn't decide what the mark up would be. I knew there was still meat on the bone, but because it is pretty simple I didn't know what someone would be willing to pay for an undated and uncatalogued pennant like this. I'm glad someone that will enjoy it picked it up as it is a rare pennant.

Thanks for the Kudos...FYI my snipe was for $350. The exceedingly rare pennants of the big market teams are always in great demand. There are a ton of Cubs collectors in general and they pay out the nose for the super tough...I know because I am one...LOL.

Nice find Mike
