George Burns pennant--anyone here get it?

Yep, that's the same exact pennant. Looks like the Hake's buyer lost money on that one.

Hi Dan,

I used to pick up quite a few odds and ends from the Hake's auctions but honestly, I finally realized your point is correct more times than not. Huge buyer premiums as well. There's some really nice stuff available (especially political) but only if re-sale is not in your plans and you just have to have the item.

I used to buy from Hake's all the time too....it was probably around the time that Ted Hake sold the business that things got a little bit ridiculous...their opening bids were often higher than the item was worth. I don't even know if they still send out catalogs...I haven't gotten one since I stopped bidding a few years ago.

Perezfan, thanks for the advice! I really like the way that you displayed your pennants. Very impressive collection.
