Help with old Dodgers' pennants

[cubsguy1969]

Hey, guys. I'm a longtime lurker, occasional poster (though it's been awhile).

I might have a chance to buy several 1950s-era Brooklyn Dodgers pennants. I don't know a lot about them. From doing a little online research, I see that many have been reproduced. Is there anything I should look for in particular to be certain they're vintage? I have a decent feel for what's vintage, but I haven't bought many pennants.
Also, what's a fair-market value range? I also did a little research on that, and saw them selling between $100 to $300. Does that sound about right? And is there a holy grail pennant?
Thanks in advance for your help.


While we're at it, so this won't be an entirely self-serving thread, I'd love to see what Brooklyn Dodgers stuff you have. Particularly pennants.

I don't know much about pennants, but I'll gladly post a pic of my favorite Dodger's autograph:

There are plenty of reproduction pennants (especially Brooklyn). Some of them are correctly labeled but many are not. Some sellers knowingly sell repros as being real, and others just don't know the difference, so beware.

Send me a private message if you need to know some telltale signs. Once you know, it's quite easy to determine the difference. I have seen some repros sell for a few hundred dollars on eBay, so there are bad sellers stll preying on novice collectors.

That's very nice of you.
I tried sending a private message, but have never done it before. In case it didn't reach you, my e-mail's robfouch@aol.com
Thanks.
