I don't believe one exists, Greg. You're correct: the 1953-dated felt NL/AL champs banners are your closest option.

The pickins are similarly scarce for 1952, I've noticed. There was a 1952-dated Brooklyn Dodgers WS champs (phantom) pennant made ... but was there an NL champs variant made for the bums in '52??

I think by 1953 the pennant makers and vendors were sick and tired of dated, unsold Dodgers vs. Yankees stock from prior years that they couldn't move. So they got smart and began omitting the years ... which would have served them well in '55 and '56 (and '63, '77, '78, and '81).

Here are �52s, with and without �World�. But I don�t know of a NL Champs version.
