Hey, pennant guys

[UKCardGuy]

I'm also partial to pennants with a date.

I recently picked up this 1957 Braves pennant. It's not the rarest but the condition was pretty good and the price was right.

Nice one, and a cool design. I like pennants with different ways of displaying player names besides the standard scroll.

Okay who knows what the oldest known scroll pennant is? My guess is the 1939 WS pennant, I think Mark owns it ....

That one has eluded me for many years... never owned one, unfortunately. I am experiencing brain fog, but do think that may be the earliest of all the "scroll" pennants.

Below is a pic containing the following year's World Series Pennant (also a double-scroll...)

Here's the one we believe to be the first scroll pennant, featured 1 1/2 years ago in Hunt's...

And so are Dahlgren and Vander Meer.... too funny. Simpler times, for sure.

Do you know what that went for? Definitely has some condition issues.

$900...I assume includes BP.

This one has to be a mistake...Just ended Saturday.

I’m too lazy to dig up my password to log in.

What did the Brooklyn one go for?

I get emails from most of the auction houses but only get catalogs from a few. I feel like I am probably missing things, but with my focus being only Giants, maybe I’m not.

If you ever want to get rid of that Braves vs. Indians pennant let me know.

What stinks is, I’d definitely give a reasonable offer for this ... maybe $50?

[perezfan]

I think the starting bid was in listed in error, and was meant to be 5,000 pennies. So you should be good-to-go!

Wait. What???? This isn't real?

The seller said it was found hidden away in great granddad's attic.

Seriously, this is how bad it's gotten. I needed a Mitchell and Ness repro just to feed the habit. My question is: was this design ever actually used on an NY Giants pennant? I'm thinking Mark might have it.
