Help With Yankees Pennant

[pitchingace77]

Thanks a lot for all of your help and the information. I got it for $50 so I guess I did pretty good.

I think you did great. Jason is super knowledgable but I might add $25 to his $75 estimate, being that it’s Yankees.

If it's not terribly faded or soiled at the end, $100 is realistic. Problem is it looks like it's been washed. Those wrinkles are a tell tale sign. Try ironing it on the back and see if some of those wrinkles will come out.

Yeah, I am drooling over those Yankee pennants. Nice grab.

How exactly would you wash a pennant? Just for kicks I threw a cheap travel pennant in the washing machine once and it came out as a blank felt pennant. Last time I tried to wash a pennant.

I think it’s worth $100 to $125. Many of those wrinkles would iron out from the reverse side, and it will look great. Not that it’s terrible, as-is.

As for washing... I’ve never had any luck either. It’s very possible that this Pennant was simply purchased on a rainy day, or somehow got very wet.

A nice pickup for $50

Thanks for all the help. What is the best way to go about ironing it to get out some of the wrinkles?

Yeah be careful! I tried to wash an old Athletics pennant from the 40's and it came out a pile of felt! that was on gentle with woolite!
