These things never do as well the second time around. Especially when the second occurance happens right after the first. As to exact date that these were issued, we may never know. The style, materials, felt and printing are all commensurate with known examples of the 1920s era.
This Brooklyn pennant was exposed and returned for being in far worse condition than originally portrayed by the seller. I bid on it the first time around, but stayed far away the second time (after Greg described its real condition). I would take the word of a collector vs. an ebay seller any day. Especially a seller that doesn't specialize in sports collectibles. He either failed to disclose the flaws due to not knowing what collectors look for, or had an intent to deceive. Perhaps a little of both...
It looks like Greg got it again, but for a price commensurate with its actual condition. A decent buy, the second time around... even in rough shape. I'm pretty sure that Greg will come on here to confirm his thoughts/strategy.
