I’ve always felt that these were made some years ago by someone who passed them off as authentic. Don’t know for sure. They have been re-circulated by reputable auction houses, too. The 1955s BKLN and NYY scrolls were both cloth, this is felt or felt-like with subtle differences in the graphics, and for some reason the spine is sewn shut.

Figured I’d share these color variants of an Eagles pennant The green version of this pennant is pretty common, the red is very scarce and I believe I’ve seen only one other aside from the one I own. Then a couple of months ago I added this blue variant - it’s the only one I’ve seen.

Nice...I just audited my Eagles pennants yesterday. I only have this one in green and have only ever seen it in green.

Great Eagles pennants.

I didn't win this but I hadn't seen this version of the 1951 ASG Pennant before. Is it a new find or just pretty rare?

Very rare and one of at least FIVE All Star Game pennants from 1951, all five clearly from the same company (WGN). I own two of them pictured here, the one you show is the same design as the 1950 WGN from Comiskey.

The bottom two are other 1951s I don’t own but found pics online.

Side note: three of the five 1951s have ‘Reynolds’ and ‘Cain’ on the AL scroll. I guess Cain is supposed to be Ferris Fain. Bob Cain was not on the AL roster. Not sure who Reynolds is, if it’s Allie he wasn’t on the roster either.

I've had all five, but have since sold 3 of them. The 4th and 5th ones above are especially scarce.
