High Pennant Price -- Why??

[Simmons Nation]

Hello all,
I dabble a bit in pennants, but it is admittedly not my focus area. I primarily collect Philadelphia related memoribilia, so this pennant caught my eye on ebay this week because I haven't seen this variation before. That said, I threw in a bid and expected this to sell somewhere between $75-100... $200 tops. When I woke up this morning and looked at the price I was floored.

Does anyone have an explanation for why this particular variation is so valuable... or is this sale price just crazy?

2 bidders wanted it or perhaps, dare I say, shilled

I think it's more probable that 2 guys put in top all bid snipes (or what the under bidder thought was one).....and it cost the winner.

by the bidding - not shilling.

That is a rare style pennant. I saw it and noticed it immediately as such, but would have expected that $200 range myself. The nice thing about this one and some of the others this person was auctioning is that the condition was pretty nice although most of the others are fairly common. $760 seems a little crazy to me too. Someone must be happy though. Good for them.
