Hey, pennant guys

[Duluth Eskimo]

Those are both real vintage pennants. The ones in the auction are made like the royal blue Brooklyn Dodgers ones that you oftentimes see being described as "authentic"

Thanks for that. My annoyance meter is now down to just three beers. I should be completely un-annoyed by about 7:00 pm tonight.

I'm guessing the tell tale sign that these are re-prints is the material from which they're made?

[Fballguy]

One more question...How widespread is the practice of reprinting old pennants? Why was this one in particular reprinted? It's not particularly breathtaking.

That's two questions...but don't hassle me. I'm annoyed.

That is a main factor. On these, I could immediately tell just by seeing the tips sticking out. They are made of the thin synthetic material that all post 70's pennants (for the most part) are made out of. If you are a pennant collector and dont want to spend $100-150, they are just fine. Collect what you like to collect. You may change your mind in the future and want to refine your collection, but the good news is you didn't pay too much for them.

None of these will go in my collection. I bought these strictly to resell.

Then you did well to lose that lot.

Minimal resale value there, and you were likely spared a decent amount of time and hassle... for very little (if any) payout.

A while back, I posted a link to a White Sox picture pennant that was missing the pennant. Now we have this!

Buy both!

Anyone know anything about this pennant? Is it actually from 1973 or later production? I'd say it's made from the material of that time frame and not the cheaper see through stuff on the 80's and 90s.

[Fballguy]

Real or reprint?

[Fballguy]

I believe I did get two original Keezer Giants pennants. While several of the reprints were obvious...stiff as a board. Two were softer felt and limp as...while you fill in the punchline on that one. They were lighter orange as well. Here are some photos. Thoughts?

PS...The seller offered a 30 day money back guarantee and I will be exercising that option for about 100 of the pennants.

Not sure, Rob...something about those still looks a little off. Maybe the razor sharp edges? The tassels on my (presumably) authentic Keezer are much thicker than your average tassel (and black, as well). Just my 2 cents. I hope I'm wrong.
