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.

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.

[Duluth Eskimo]

Here's a throwback photo for all the Boston fans. I'm sure these were all about $1 each in 1968.

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!

Who is the autograph?

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

[rlevy]

The Redlegs pennant has Frank Robinson's signature on it. If you are going to have someone vintage from that team, he is probably right up there. I understand what you are saying about signatures on pennants, but I'm sure there are some collectors who may like them with signatures. I know I wouldn't mind having a 1963 Dodgers pennant signed by Koufax.

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