High Pennant Price -- Why??

[mjkm90]

Exceptionally rare piece + Athletics collectors who tend to be advanced and willing to spend = high prices

I run into the same as a Cubs collector

Again, I think pieces like this are a lot more "worth the money" then a 1952 Mantle that could go for 100x the pennant price.

I understand advanced pennant collectors will pay a premium for a rarely found piece but I would think a ceiling bid of $400-500, at most for this style. It's really just a 40's era undated pennant with a generic player graphic albeit for a sought after team. I'd personally have a problem winning this pennant at the $760 price or at least would have to know I would never get that out of it if I were to resell it in the future. Maybe Mike Egnar's two pennant guides are a real driver in helping pennants realize high prices for pennants not be found in the books. Still a cool pennant.

Agree- normally $450 or so would easily get this one. I was lucky to get same pennant (but with colored graphics) for $175 about 10 years ago. I also have the St. Louis Browns version with same graphic, but had to pay close to $300 for that one. I'd be happy to see a resurgence in pennant interest and subsequently pricing. As stated above, 100 times rarer than a Mickey Mantle Topps Card, and a real bargain by comparison

...and the shipping for this item to Canada was only a mere $208.60 Cdn. ($149.00 US)
What a deal!
Gotta love eBay's global shipping program!
To my American Friends that sell on eBay, please opt out of that program when listing.
