Hey, pennant guys

[Duluth Eskimo]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Maybe the buyer has a photo of it at a game or something. I highly doubt it. I would not buy it for $50 as I have never seen an example like that in any photo I have seen and I try to pay close attention to early photos of pennants as many others do too. If someone on here did buy it and want to enlighten me, I would love to hear the rest of the story.

I know this NY pennant has come up in the past and sellers have tried to attribute it to the Giants. I think we all believe it is a major stretch to attribute it specifically to baseball . Even if a photo were to surface of someone holding it at a stadium who is to say the gibrone didn't just bring it to the ball park from home. Agreed $50 at most for this generic pennant.

It seems that nodder prices are almost back but why is the pennant market taking so long to recover?

High-end/Oversized/Dated pennants are realizing great prices, as they've really dried up. It's the mid-range and more common variations that are floundering. Of course this represents the vast majority of those for sale.

It's all just supply and demand. Right now the supply exceeds the demand for the more commonly seen pennants.

Antiquated Hunts website apparently won't simply copy/paste. Oh well- they currently have some nice ones that are garnering spirited bidding.

Yes it seems the high end is doing very well as well as choice ChiPenCo and Collegiate of Ames. I think we have to continue to get more people preferably younger people like me (Im 20) into the pennant market. If we can increase the quantity of collectors i think the mid range pennant market will see a big rebound.

Starting price is way too high. It has a rip at the upper-left that extends out to the border (which the seller discloses, but sort of Poo-Poos). And he compares it to the early Mastro example which was sold at the absolute peak of the market (and was likely shilled, at that). I would think $500 is a good aggressive starting price, and then see where it goes from there.

I am probably in the top 2% of prospective buyers for this pennant (along with Rob), but even I must sit this one out
