Unfortunately, most of what I buy is for resale and I don't buy anything that is not in ExMt or better. If the tip is blunt from the original cut, I'm fine with that for resale. If it's altered in any way I completely pass for the most part.

I agree...It's all in how it displays. A little patina works for me. Missing tip to me kills the display.

Where do you sell?

If I have a chance to get an SF Giants pennant I "need" or have never seen before, I am going for it, regardless of condition. If I can upgrade at a later date, all the better. That said, condition WILL influence the price I'm willing to pay.

Speaking of "needs," here they are. I'd take an example of any of these in almost any shape. I have seen these offered once, maybe twice or never (only pictures).

I think I have the black one with Batter and Candlestick Park.

I'll pm you Rob, if I'm able to find it. It will be a bit of a challenge, and will take some time. I've never seen another, but need to be sure mine is that exact variation.

Please stay tuned!

Looking forward to that! It is definitely a variation and a melding of a couple of different styles. I own many that look close but not quite the same.

Edit: I just looked and I do have that exact pennant except on mine the grass has no color. It's possible the grass was hand colored in the pennant I posted (or not, as I have seen pennants that didn't "get" all of their intended colors).

In regards to restorations and alterations I agree with everything Mark said. I think for the most part, most would agree with these. I would highly caution those that are somewhat newer to pennant collecting to be very careful buying on eBay as there are many many people altering pennants for resale.

With that being said, I buy quite a bit on there myself for resale so it is o w of the best places to go. Just saying, there's a lot of garbage on there too. Be careful.
