Hey, pennant guys

[UKCardGuy]

Thanks Greg

I didn't "like' this pennant at all. It sold for $374.

a) how do we even know it's baseball related?

b) the Giants weren't using a black and orange color scheme in 1932.

c) the NY is Yankees, not Giants.

Am I wrong?

This one was discussed long ago (perhaps even before you joined net54). Consensus was that it is very likely NOT baseball related. Your instincts are spot-on.

How could that be? I started the pennant thread. You mean you guys discussed pennants before I came along?

YES! There WAS a very substantial pennant thread before you came along. Perhaps someone can find it (who's better than me at the search function). I think of it periodically and would actually love to see it.

But when yours/this one came along, it rendered the other one irrelevant (as referenced by the utterly insane # of views )

Also just FYI, the irregular tassel placement is very typical for that '51 ASG Pennant. I've seen others just like that many times. 100% legit.

I knew it was legit. It does look like it used to have three tassels, top and bottom, but lost one on the bottom.

I’d like to see the old thread, too, but I’ll bet half the photos are grayed out Photobucket.

Would be fascinating to read and see what mysteries/theories existed pre-Pennant Guys. Also, painfully entertaining reading collector amazement when a Tobacco era pennant sold for $400.

Whoa Mark...Top 3 in 2007? Imagine where you rank now?!

Very first post too.

Mike: I just joined tonight, and this is my first post.

I think I might have the best vintage baseball pennant collection in the world... top 3 anyway. The collection spans from turn of the century to the late '60s. It stops at the point manufacturers felt the need to cheapen / mass-produce the artwork, make them stiff instead of soft, and include the MLB Logo. Until I can figure out how to display them on the floors or ceiling however, I have had to slow it down a bit. I had hoped to create some type of memorabilia museum someday, but am doubtful that enough people would actually appreciate.

Many thanks to Mike K. for finding that! What a fun look back at my first-ever net54 posts.... funny thing is that I'm not much better at posting pics now than I was back then. Hard to believe that was almost exactly 17 years ago!

I did like this pennant but the tassels seem a little weird. The spacing from top and bottom seems way off and the top tassels look thick and the bottom tassels thin. Maybe there's three at the top and one missing at the bottom? It brought good money. I wouldn't be surprised if one of you guys got it.

Wasn’t me, but this was a good get. The colors are vivid and it’s almost flawless. Hard to find without cracking in the shield. Might be the most attractive vintage ASG pennant. Not unusual for this company to be a little sloppy with tassel placement. I’ve seen it on others.
