Hey, pennant guys

[Duluth Eskimo]

Mark,
Those are really nice and I don't think most people have any idea how rare early over-sized pennants are. Especially in that condition. Even if you had the money to drop on a collection like that, good luck finding them in the next 10-20 years. I buy and sell a fair amount of pennants and do collect Yankees pennants for my own collection, but even as a seller I have to say that is an incredible grouping of pennants some of which you may have the lone example. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jason... yes, it's been a "labor of love" for quite a few years now

Completely agree... Having watched these so closely over the years, I think it's safe to say that they're drying up pretty fast. I believe that most which surfaced over the past couple of decades are now safely tucked away in people's collections for a while. The new finds seem to be turning up at a slower rate than before. It still tends to go in "waves", but the waves are getting a lot smaller!

You hardly see a quality vintage pennant at auction anymore. You have better luck tripping across one on eBay than finding a solid one at auction with the usual suspects.

Greg, absolutely love the Albany pennant.

I know I've shown this one before, but it's one of my favorites.

Here are a few of mine that I consider "scarce". The key word being I...LOL.











Common Design, but I've NEVER seen another Cubs

Mark and Mike -- so many beautiful pennants!
And Mike H. -- right back at you -- I love that George Burns pennant.

Here are a few more from me.

So, sayhey Greg....it looks like you specialize in player (rather than team) pennants

Those can't be easy to find!

I totally agree....Mark's collection is amazing. I have rarely had a chance to buy even ONE oversized, early Giants pennant and when I have, the money has scared me off!
