Jackie Robinson pennant help

[perezfan]

It does appear authentic, and of the time period. Very rare, as I have never seen this variation either.

The "wavy" font is similar to the "Jackie Robinson's All Stars" Pennant (which is also 3/4 size). I am currently without a computer, or I would attach a link/image, to show the similarity. Perhaps Mike Egner will see this, and can provide an image. Going from memory, I believe the Jackie Robinson's All Stars Pennant contains four other names.... Campanella, Doby, Newcombe, and perhaps Paige.

This is a great find, Matt. But as Mike stated, the lack of graphics and generic nature might keep the value down just a bit. Condition appears excellent, and the rarity is off the charts, so I would estimate a value of $800 - $1,000. Perhaps higher, if you were to consign it to a Hunts, REA, SCP, or other high-end Catalogue Auction.

Hope this us helpful, and great post!

Great looking pennant Matt. Here is the one Mark mentioned. As long as I am posting I should mention that I should be getting the new pennant books by the end of next week . Mike

I knew Mike would come through with an image

OK... no Paige, and the font is slightly different. But the maker of the pennant (and its timing) are almost surely the same as yours.

Can you post the measurements of yours? (height along the spine X length, not counting tassels) I'm guessing about 8" X 25" ?

Thanks!
