Pennant Info

Thanks Greg...

Wish I could do the Sox Pennant justice, by framing it as nicely as some of yours, but have decided to save money by going with a uniform look for the entire collection (plain black). I could conceivably dump so much money into framing, that I would have to sell a good part of my collection, just to pay for it!

Perhaps there will come a day in which all pennants are graded/slabbed in triangular plastic holders, and we won't even have to worry about framing. "Raw" Pennants will eventually be looked down upon, and will sell for just a fraction of graded examples. My Naps Pennant might receive a "1" (Poor) Grade from PSA, due to the partial tassel loss and the pin hole.

Check out the Card Side of the board... there is a current thread on Grading that makes me glad I stick with memorabilia. Some gorgeous (otherwise perfect) looking cards issued a "1" because of minute paper-loss on the reverse side. I sure hope the day never comes when some random person's personal opinion affects the value of items we collect.
