Hey, pennant guys

Looks like we all agree this was the case.

Tough to argue, as no other explanation makes much sense!

If that is the case, you’d think we’d see some that don’t have any piping. I have not seen that before.

A collector friend has a two-sided Orioles/Browns pennant (what appears to be WGN) with the spine on the O’s side …

Changing gears...

Let's see some Hunt Auction Pennant pickups! Their All Star Auction was the best pennant auction in eons, so I'm sure some people here must've bolstered their collections.

I spent my wad early (on non-pennant pickups) before the pennant barrage hit later in the auction. Otherwise I'd have gone hard after many of those pennants.

My biggest frustration is this one. I tried to bid it up, but Invaluable wouldn't register the bid. Someone out there really benefited from that gaffe...

This is the one I was most focused on, going into the auction. I believe it's the only known example. I know Mike Egner owned it at one point, and I've seen it two other times (easily identified by the blunt tip). But the next bid increment would've taken it to $1,500. And even if that bid won, that's a $2,000 price tag with BP, Sales Tax and Shipping all thrown in...

Seemed like a lot to pay for a pennant lacking any "baseball graphics". I'm guessing, however that another will not surface in my lifetime. Regardless, congrats are in order to somebody!

I bid on the 1942 Yankees. I didn't have it, but generally only go crazy for the years they won. I've only seen this one other time. Great pennant.

Great pennants. I'm sorry I missed the auction. I really like that Yankees pennant.

I just had these arrive. A nice run of team photo pennants. There's some issues with some of the spines but the price was right.
