1916 BF2 Ferguson Bakery question

the BF2's.....beautiful collectibles. Does anyone have the full-size pennants? They are incredibly hard to find and very pricey! I only have about 15-20 BF2's now. I agree with Greg on grading. MANY times I see them on ebay, they go for ridiculous prices even with the stitching around the outside. I love the fact that many people don't even mention this fact when selling them. John Billingsly bought a 'blanket' of them from a Mastronet auction, unstrung them and made a small fortune on them. They are difficult to find anymore in top condition. There is a person Bradburybeatlesman (sp?) on ebay that has been paying really high for them. As I understand it, there are 3-4 different tiers of difficult players within the set. That is from a long-time collector of them. I have a list of perceived scarce players but don't have it with me or in softcopy, so can't post it. I picked up 3 lots from Hunts a couple years back that were top notch. Each lot had about 4-5 players and 2-5 copies of each pennant in it. Got a great deal on them but unfortunately, they seem to have gone up significantly since I sold mine (of course.....).
