Cheapest way to ship a pennant
Hi all...I'm going to sell off a few low end baseball pennants and was wondering what I should expect to pay for shipping...assuming I use the standard "sandwiched between two long pieces of cardboard" approach. I buy a lot of pennants but haven't noticed a standard shipping charge...it typically ranges anywhere from $3 to $15. I'm going the "free shipping" route on these so want to choose the most economical method.
Do these have to be sent via Priority mail due to size/weight? The soft felt ones probably have more shipping options than the stiffer, newer ones. Any thoughts?

It can be done for just under $10, as long as the flat box does not exceed 36" in length.
That's Priority Mail... it can be sent Parcel Post, but that typically saves you only 50 to 75 cents, depending on the destination. Usually better just to do Priority, as it gets there quicker with less transit time (thus less chance for damage). You also get Tracking, Delivery confirmation, and $50 automatic insurance. Worth the extra 75 cents, IMO. Mine usually cost about $15 to ship, because I end up insuring the more expensive ones. But for the "cheapies" expect to pay just under $10. Good luck! Ps. Even the softer felt ones should be shipped flat. The graphics can crack if folded or bent too severely. I also use an inner plastic pennant sleeve, in case the box gets wet. That said, I hope some of those crappy ebay sellers are reading this! Last edited by perezfan; 02-20-2017 at 12:29 PM.

Thanks Mark for the advice. I appreciate it as always.
Regarding crappy eBay sellers...I received a pennant shipped in a Honey Nut Cheerio's box last week. No lie. The box arrived in rough shape, but the pennant was more or less fine.

Here are some mini pennants, anyone know the year? I know sometime between 1957-1965. My parents just found them at their house and then I saw this thread.

Just curious...
I just picked up a lot of about 150 pennants. They were actually the product of 15 different auctions. The combined shipping charge on these is $58...vs the $12.95 each for the individual auctions. Seems kind of high but never rec;d or shipped that many pennants before. What do you think?
Also, does anyone know of a lighter yet more durable substitute for cardboard to use when shipping pennants? I rec'd a pennant a while back that was shipping in a hard white, yet very light type of "cardboard". Not sure what that's called but would like to find it and price it out. Thanks!
