Are you saying you got this for $1.00 plus $25 shipping? LOL

That may be the worst item cost to shipping ratio I've ever heard but what a fantastic buy for $26!!

Congrats on a very cool pick up.

And don't complain too loudly about the poor pictures. They probably keep the bidding/offers low and that's fine with me. If you have a trained eye, which I know everyone here does...or are proactive enough to as a question or two...you get some great deals with those bad pics. Like you just did...albeit against all odds with that misinformation.

PS...Love her shipping method. That would've been $3.00 in the U.S. Imagine the deal you would've gotten if she lived in Sheboygan.

Yep, one dollar item, 25 dollar shipping. BTW, I believe it actually did cost her very close to mail that envelope. I checked to see if there was a Central/South American ebay but there is not. Gotta believe there’s some good baseball stuff in those countries.

Totally agree on the bad pictures can make for great buys. They can be a buyer’s best friend!

Awesome pick up Rob. That was a dollar well spent!

Picked up these two this week. Really exicted about the black one (even though it is not mint), as it doesn't seem to come up very often.

I've been trying to pick up some older Houston Oilers pennants too, but some pennant loving football fan keeps sneaking in to get them.

It kind of looks like a full sized version of the early 50's mini pennants.

That guy sounds like a real jerk. Who collects football pennants anyway!?!?

Let's see the Oilers pennants.

Did anyone here pick up this rare Keezer (sp?) Houston Astros pennant from eBay this past week? It wasn't me. I'm still waiting for Greg to sell me his.

Great Giants pennant. I think it's from soon after the move, because I have two of the NY version. There's also a tiny brass like pin of that same giant.

Both the Pin and NY Giants Pennant are from 1951. So it's interesting that the SF Giants would rekindle that Mascot 7 years (or more) later.

Nice pickups Marc!

Thanks, Mark and Rob.

Makes me wonder about distribution. Were these pennants produced by the team? Did they "take" the designs from NY to SF? Or were vendors producing pennants in NY with old designs and then transporting them to SF for sale?

I’m curious, Mark, how you’re dating that pennant to 1951. I know the pins have sold on their original store displays and I’m guessung there might be a copyright date on those displays. Is it not possible for the NY pennant to be 1951 through 1957?
