Probably so....

I haven't seen one turn up in an eternity, so imagine it would now go significantly higher at auction. The Paige pennant didn't seem to be all that rare up until 5-6 years ago.

When these things dry up, they really become scarce! I guess that's the only good thing about being old... I got to a lot of this stuff just in the nick of time!

Great stuff, Mark. Now if I could only find a pic of the Luke Easter pennant (in the style of the WGN Paige and Doby). Have you seen it?

I've seen it a grand total of once in 30+ years. Seems like about 15 years ago and I think it went for about $1,400 back then. It was definitely in the same style as the Paige pennant. Would love to see another one surface some day!

Spectacular … a Holy Grail for sure.

As for the WGN Jackie pennant … mine lists him as “1st Baseman”, as do the others I’ve seen … do any reference him as a 2nd baseman?

EDIT: Yes! Worthpoint shows one, and also a version with no position ..

Today’s TSOG? Wow!

The fact that the one (and best IMO) Jackie Robinson pennant is probably the only to exist blows my mind.

It is a privilege to be “associated” with Mark and the rest of you guys!

Found this on worthpoint today, when looking for something else. Don't recall seeing this label before. Worton Novelties.

Thanks Rob! And right back at you, for all your contributions and creating this thread! For anyone who wants to see it, here's a link...

As for the Worton "debate", I tend to believe they were simply a retail outlet for baseball/sports souvenirs. Just my 2 cents, based on what I originally believed in addition to the points that Kyle and Greg made.... the most convincing of which is the location adjacent to Yankee Stadium.
