Hey, pennant guys

Who are the suckers paying high dollar for non period pennants? There is also a vintage "1946" Red Sox pennant currently for sale. I guess because these were produced many years ago, I think mid-late 70's, the vintage label isn't being deceptive. However claiming vintage and leaving out the date of manufacture its aim is to take advantage of the novice collector.

That’s not even in good condition. A seller with hearly 50,000 feedbacks ought to know better.

I see this garbage every time I search vintage pennants on eBay. In addition to it being obviously post-1970s, it's just ugly. There's nothing attractive or artistic to any of these poorly made generic repros.

Maybe a few years down the road, there will be a legitimate market for "vintage reproductions". Apparently one man's trash is becoming another man's treasure.

Good lord!!! 290 bucks!?!?!?

Found these three at my friends shop recently. I’m very intrigued by the Press Club of Chicago and Modern pennants (both made by National of Chicago). Anyone have have info on those, please let me know.

Do you have picture of the maker's mark, label, or tag you can share? That manufacturer doesn't sound familiar to me.

I didn’t remember the full name National Badge and Pennant Company

It is a problem for the novice (me) trying to determine what is of the period and what is a reproduction. I am just trying to put together some decent looking pennants for a ceiling project in the hobby room.

I have been collecting for a few decades and I never gave pennants a second thought until I became a member here. I am amazed at what has managed to survive the decades. The colors, variations is unreal. The information on this thread is invaluable but I need someone to look over my shoulder while I peruse pennants on ebay!

I am just interested in creating one or two circular patterns like this collector:

Hey, Dean - would you like to be sent "good deals" (via PM) on eBay? Every once in a while, I see Giants pennants I already own but think, "Damn, that's a good deal!" There's one such $30 pennant on there, right now. I'll bet other guys see such "deals" as well.

YES PLEASE!

Thank you.

The $30 “deal” got snagged. I’ll keep you in mind. I’m sure I’ll see more.

[pologrounds]

Happy Thanksgiving. I appreciate all the positive comments and feedback.

Has anybody ever seen another? Value Price?

Jackie Robinson All Stars Pennant.
Value? Price? Rarity? Scarcity?

Very rare... one surfaces maybe every 5 years.

Pricing as follows...

Condition/Value:
Good $500
VG $900
EX $1,200
EXMT $1,500
NRMT $1,800

[perezfan]

Which version do you have, or are you inquiring about? (see pics below).

The beaten up green one is the rarer of the two styles, and would likely sell for a bit more at auction (assuming the condition was similar for both). Both versions are 3/4 size.

[Jersey City Giants]

did anyone pick up that old Syracuse University Baseball Pennant a while back? If so I am interested if you ever want to move it.

OK.... I see you've edited your post to include a version I have personally never seen before. I like it better than the other more generic ones. Usually if I like something better, so does the general public... as evidenced by inevitably escalating auction prices.

So the one you pictured is probably worth a bit more than the prices I stated for the two others. I'd guess 15 - 20% higher... but you never know until it goes to auction. Hope this helps!

Recently purchased a group of pennants that included ones I will be looking to resell (haven't received them yet), and was hoping some of you could help me out with some info on dates and pricing ranges. I believe the Pittsburgh one is from the 40's, the rest from the 50's and 60's. The Redlegs one has a Frank Robinson auto, which I believe is real but has no authentication. I was told the Yankees photo pennant was from 1961. I believe they all have pinholes and are probably in vg-ex condition. For most of them, I couldn't find the exact ones in these colors on ebay.

Thanks for your assistance,
Rick

Very helpful, thanks Mark. I guess it makes sense for me to take it JSA when they make a local appearance. Do you think a sticker on the back for the auto would be a problem. I think LOA's (instead of the sticker) cost extra.

thanks again!

Rick

[perezfan]

A sticker on the back would not bother me personally. On the front of the pennant is a different story.

Probably worth a bit more than the $125 if you can provide the authentication.

Best of luck!

[ooo-ribay]

Who is the autograph?

Personally, I’m not a fan of autographs on pennants.

[Dodgerfan74]

Beautiful Jackie Robinson pennants. Would love to have one for my Dodgers collection.
