Hey, pennant guys

I’m pretty sure that there is a 1940 World Series pennant from same company with same graphic.

Oh man... If I was selling those two, I would be thrilled to realize half of those prices.

I suspect they both sold for less than that. A fatal flaw of Worthpoint is it shows the asking price for items with the best offer option, not the sold price. There are multiple sales of that pennant within months of these in the $250-$300 range.

Ok, good to know. I was thinking there’s no way those prices could be real.

Not mine, but some interesting ones from FB group pennant I’m on. One fellow is asking for a rough value on his two basketball pennants, if anyone has an idea? Thanks!

Well no I didn’t think that those prices reflected actual “value” or whatever they would get if auctioned now. That being said, it seems that the Best Offer option was instituted in October 2017. So I don’t think that applies here. More likely these were just off-the-rails auctions like that simple Cardinals pennant from a week or so ago. I would expect it to be $250-300 if auctioned today but plus/minus a big margin of error.

Regarding the Crosley Field Pennants, if you average it out, you are spot on...

$475 - $525 for the vibrant N.Y.P Co. version
$75 - $125 for the plainer, more faded version

The best offer option on eBay has been around much longer than that. In 2017, eBay began allowing you to put it on auction style listings, where prior to that it was only an option for fixed price listings.
