Hey, pennant guys

PSA would have to hold a job fair in this thread. Most people don't know a pennant from a peanut. There is honestly no chance that they'd be a better authority than the crew posting here.

When has that ever stopped them? They’re the authority because they say they’re the authority.

Ebay pennant searches continue to be fruitless. Anything that turns up is either ultra common, badly damaged, modern junk or way overpriced. Seems almost pointless to waste time searching any longer.

Although I did find this very interesting and unique Eagles Penna

[perezfan]

We all know about full size and 3/4 size pennants. But that particular seller introduces us to the ultra-rare 2/3 size. For only a $28 opening bid and $20.40 shipping, that Eagles Penna could some day be yours.

And here's a lovely Chiefs Penn, but it's gonna run you $11 more. Everybody set your snipes!

Same seller, huh? They specialize in pennas.

The 20" pennas jokes practically write themselves.

I can’t believe it hasn’t been sold (or eaten) yet!

[thetahat]

It’s a shame, too ... the Chief with the white pants is a bit tougher ...

The white pants really held up well to whatever in the heck happened to that pennant. I need to get some of that paint for my house.

The ultra rare "Philade" Eagles pennant which ironically enough came on a "Filleted" (or "Flayed", you decide) pennant.

Ebay has been so bad I can't even remember the last time I searched the sold listings and saw something I was disappointed I didn't get.

I threw these two onto my watch list simply because there was very little action on them. I generally don't get to into Army or Navy pennants unless they're pretty rare. These are oversized...35"...and were too cheap to not buy. That and I had an itchy buying finger.

Those are sweet pennants, Rob. Can't go wrong with the US Army!

They look old ... like, 1910s or 20s-old, based upon those thin spines. I've seen some from that era that featured comparable graphics and letter fonts; and a label for The Reproduction Co.

[perezfan]

Gorgeous pennant pair, Rob! Love the artwork on both. And the condition is just crazy for pennants that are over 100 years old. Way to make lemonade out of lemons during this horrific drought!

[thetahat]

Well the good news is that the drought has increased demand for what we all have. Been noticing an uptick in prices realized for not terribly uncommon 1950s team pennants. Even if we aren’t sellers, at some point we will want to move them along ... I’m not too far from starting the process with what I have in storage tubs. I think it seems this way because our collections have grown quite a bit. Even the live auctions aren’t very interesting.

Another solution: let’s trade! We should have Pennant Collector Winter Meetings!

These are very very cool, detail is amazing ...

[thetahat]

This drives me nuts by the way .... definite repro but always sold as if it was original .... currently has a pretty high bid. I only know of three Pilots pennants

1. The mucho cool white cloth ASCO
2. The red Trench (slight variations, with and without tassels, font of Seattle)
3. A red AdFlag, somewhat unsightly

There’s also a red repro resembling #2 that has been making some rounds.

Hey Greg- just curious, but what points to repo/made at a later date on that one? The MLB logo? The material? Something else? Do you think it was sold as some kind of commemorative item?
