Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

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.

My guess would be they didn’t make it, just sold it.

Here are some others identified on worthpoint (or auction sites via Google) as having the Worton label. I know that Greg has talked about his belief that these are from an unknown NY maker. But Kyle believes some may be Trench (I think??).

Great stuff from Marc. Domer and I have been having some great email discussions (i.e. Trench vs Non-Trench) and Worton cane up. Observe where the company was located:

I think you guys have found a new maker! Bravo!

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.

One of the best ever Tigers pennants at a reasonable price, however the spine looks a bit unusual, as if it may not be sewn on as original. Be sure to inquire if interested, as there have been some transplants in circulation.

Mark: Outstanding timely video and undoubtedly the only collection with all four Jackie-dedicated pennants.

Mark, I kind of thought you might be a little conservative on the value of your scarce Jackie Robinson pennants. Check this one out that just ended at Lelands:
https://auction.lelands.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=113499
The pennant is red and doesn't have the same eye appeal to me as your blue one. I can't imagine what your 1 of 1 pennant picturing Jackie would sell for.

Yeah, you’re right. I underestimated. Still stuck on 1990s pricing. I’m afraid that makes me a Hobby Dinosaur. Much more a “dinosaur” than a “whale” these days, haha. Thanks for watching.

In the “Jackie Robinson Mementos” video, I didn’t even attempt estimating prices. That stuff just don’t turn up often enough to hazard a guess. After Leland’s, I’m almost ready to give up guessing. Not just in regard to the Jackie pennant… everything I was watching went haywire!

Because of this thread and ooo-ribay (thanks again Rob) I was finally able to land this pennant in 2021 after many years of searching. I thought I’d provide a bit of an update. I left it with my friends at the Clemente Museum as Blass is a big supporter of the museum. Last week he was there and signed it for me. I am told he was stunned and lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw it. He reported he hadn’t seen one in 50 years. I wish I had been there because I’m told he told a cool story about Steve Blass day in his small home town. He is a master storyteller. I wish they had taken a photo of him holding it. I suppose that would have been greedy of me. Blass and Manny Sanguillen also signed my Game 7 ticket stub for me.

Great story. I’m happy I played a small part in your acquisition.

There were some great pennants at the REA auction that closed last night. Prices were outside my budget but still seemed softer than I was expecting.

Hopefully some of them ended up with Net54 members.

Great story Mike… Now that’s what collecting is all about!

What a rare and awesome pennant, and one that Steve Blass himself got to enjoy seeing. Great stuff!

All of Jackie's stuff has really escalated in price in the past couple of years. While I have the 2 more common pennants featuring Jackie's portrait (plus the Barnstorming one from 1953-4) I had been hoping to add at least one of the other 2, but that ship has clearly sailed.

And I just watched your Jackie memorabilia video, great stuff. As Kyle will attest, I have been looking for a Jackie wallet for quite a while, and they never show up. In any condition.
