It does appear authentic, and of the time period. Very rare, as I have never seen this variation either.
The "wavy" font is similar to the "Jackie Robinson's All Stars" Pennant (which is also 3/4 size). I am currently without a computer, or I would attach a link/image, to show the similarity. Perhaps Mike Egner will see this, and can provide an image. Going from memory, I believe the Jackie Robinson's All Stars Pennant contains four other names.... Campanella, Doby, Newcombe, and perhaps Paige.
This is a great find, Matt. But as Mike stated, the lack of graphics and generic nature might keep the value down just a bit. Condition appears excellent, and the rarity is off the charts, so I would estimate a value of $800 - $1,000. Perhaps higher, if you were to consign it to a Hunts, REA, SCP, or other high-end Catalogue Auction.
Hope this us helpful, and great post!
Mark
