I believe Mike has said he has an update for the guide in the works which ads a great many pennants absent from the first one, but I would still recommend picking it up in the meantime. It has a simple, straightforward layout: pennants are arranged by team and each one pictured (b/w photo) with date (or date range), size, rarity, and value range given for each. Pretty quick and easy to look up most any baseball or football pennant you run across just by flipping to the team and scanning through the photos.

Thanks Lance - sounds like it's worth adding to the personal reference library.

That Cubbie is a nice example. 90% of that particular style have white-only graphics. The multi-colored version is far more attractive, and should command at least a 25% premium.

I am currently working on a revised edition but it is quite time consuming and will be a while before completion. Mike

Mike, thanks for the update. Any chance the revised edition will feature color photographs (presumably at a higher price point), or am I just being greedy now?

Thanks all. I'll order a guide.

I wish it could be color, just haven't figured out how that could be possible and yet still affordable. Mike

Mike,
Assuming you ran to print and sold the same number of Ed. 2 that you did of #1, how much more would a color version have to cost?
