Just wanted to add that if you un-knot the tassels, the white felt binding strip might lay down better (and possibly span from top to bottom). The outer plastic sleeve should then provide adequate pressure against it, to keep pressed flat.

If this doesn't bother you, nevermind

Thanks for the tip on tassels,
Any idea how much it is actually worth roughly? I realize it is probably hard to put a value on it if there aren't may around. I don't really plan on selling it but I wouldn't mind knowing what kind of a deal I got

The price could vary a lot, depending on who actually sees it, and who is in the market at the time it goes up for sale. Because it's a 3/4 size pennant, it's value is somewhat limited. Plus the memorabilia market is still pretty soft.

So even with the extreme rarity, it's probably only worth $135 - $165. If you could fix the white strip to lay flat, it could possibly exceed $200 on a very good day. All it would take is for 2 Red Sox Fans to see it and want it (most Red Sox collectors wouldn't have this one). But it's worth closer to $150 in its current state.

Hope this helps,
Mark

Been a tough month...got caught looking at a Pete Rose 4000th hit ticket, Swung and missed big time at a Al Kaline 3000th hit ticket, but got a base hit on a Roy Hamey signed check. Roy was the GM for the 61 Yankees.

Two very nice last minute pickups in January:
A pair of ticket stubs to the HOF great Bob Gibson's no-hitter in 1971 and a vintage signed stub to Len Barker's perfect game in 1981.

I'm surprised that with all the incredible tools that Bob Gibson brought to the game, that he only managed to throw one no-hitter. It really demonstrates how much luck actually factors into throwing one.
