B-Unc Felts - Real???

[glenv]

Did anyone see the B-Unc felts that just ended on eBay? Do you think they were real??? They went for a nice price, considering the seller seems to imply they might not be real...

Here's a group posted on Net54 a while back. Notice how much more detail there is. The names are on banners, not just in a blob of white.

I am not sure I have seen those players in the case before? If not, then it is unlikely they are reprints, imo. That being said, I always take into strong consideration when someone says something they are selling may not be good, because they are usually correct. Not always though . My gut tells me they are questionable....but would need to see in person to be sure. (true that some detail is lacking, especially McBride.....so ....caveat emptor)

This is interesting too. Here is a scan of another McBride that I had saved. They are actually different images if you look at the details. It really makes you wonder how these were produced and how many were produced.

I guess my question would be why is the pennant at the bottom not complete on only the ones that were just sold. Out of all the examples shown, personal, Legendary etc, the pennants seem complete where here they are just sort of blobs with names. Maybe just a different version but I would say that is what strikes me as odd. Not saying good or bad just pointing it out.

That is true. The names aren't pennants, they are just markers. Maybe two different sets?

I have a Chief Meyers felt, with the pennants. I've seen 20-30 of these over the years but don't remember ever seeing any without the pennants at the bottom. Also, the artwork on the player poses seems a bit more detailed on the ones with the pennants.

Great question.....I have NO idea but as a former collector of BF2's and BF3's, it seems like a really good screenprinter could maybe pull some of this stuff off. Don't know. They are neat, and if real, were a nice find. What did they sell for?

[Bugsy]

They are real. Here are a few others. I think I have counted 12 or 13 known players so far.

My only question on the ones shown was their apparent lack of detail. However, as stated, I hadn't seen some of those players before, which was good.

They sold for $1,086.90. Not doing well posting the link, but you can search completed auctions for this title: "You Decide—Looks to be Antique Honus Wagnor Felt Trading "Card" + 3 More, Framed"

Here are some close-ups the seller had. Granted they are through glass, but they look just like the dozen others I have seen.

Yep- i saw them about 2 days before it ended...i had to do some research as to 'what they were?' I thought some type of Ferguson Bakery thing, hence the pennants..I just quit looking and to not bother someone at all. But thanks for bringing this up, and glad to know what they were atleast.
I liked the 'YOU DECIDE" and mis-spelled HONUS WAGNOR
