Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

This is a screen grab from last night's Antiques Roadshow. I've never seen this pennant. Is it just me, or does it look oversized? I didn't think they did oversized pennants in this era. Does anyone know anything about this pennant? Value?

I have seen that pennant before. They are pretty rare, but not impossible. I think they did a similar red version as well. I only recall seeing Cincinnati Reds pennants like this though. I will let someone more familiar with Reds memorabilia chime in for pricing. It was never really something that overly interested me. Off the top of my head I want to say in the $150-200 range.

Also, it is oversized. I don't recall the exact length, but 35 inches sticks out in my memory. Larger on the piping end as well.

I could have sworn I seen a Yankees pennant in that size from this era at a card show I frequent. I could be wrong. I'm not as knowledgeable as you guys and I only glanced at it in passing.

Just curious Mike...Do you ever go to the White Plains show? I used to hit that one when I was in CT. Miss that one.

Hi Rob,

Yup, that is the one I was referring to. I will also hit the one at Hofstra if I am ever out on Long Island.

Hope all is well sir.

Basically everything Jason said about the Reds Pennant is spot-on.

They do turn up with some frequency, but are tough to find in acceptable condition. The combination of the photo insert, large size and white felt create “the perfect storm” for damage and wear.

I have only seen the Reds in this particular style... but being a 1961 Champs pennant, it’s quite possible that a Yankees version was made as well. You’d think they’d turn up periodically, however, if that was the case.

Doing well Mike. How about you?

That show was always fun. Found some good pennants there. It was a nice ride down 84 to NY too. Scenic and no traffic. Took about two hours but went by fast.

I don’t know anything about it, but I’m curious as to what the show valued at?

Not related, but I know you’d would appreciate my most recent before and after bleach candidate.

[ooo-ribay]

I’d say the bleaching did not go well. I have always been a proponent of bleaching but I recently f**ked up a really good pennant.

I should have said an ‘after (on top) and before (on bottom)’... I think the top looks pretty good all things considered.

Oh no - what happened?!

Looks much whiter Erik. Good job.

Beware the red paint. Bleach is it's kryptonite. I learned the hard way...but not as hard as Rob.

I thought the pics went the other eay. So the bleach turned orange to brown?

I’m color blind so I’m not sure about the brown ...but it is whiter! Haha
