Yeah, two guys, but hard to know how many would have been in the $1,000-$2,000 plus range if those two did not get there first.
I know it is a rare Raiders pennant, but it is such a common design for a football pennant. Price seems crazy. |

How rare are these?

Hey everyone. So I am cleaning out my parent's old stuff now, and have come across these five vintage baseball pennants. (see pictures)
Trying to determine if any of these are rare / high value. I have done some online research, but not an expert so getting some conflicting information. San Francisco Giants: I have only seen two pictures of this design online. value was $85 for one and $150 for other. Baltimore Orioles: Lots of examples with bird batting, but only found one example with the bird pitching like this, and with the stadium. that one was $140ish. Kansas City Athletics: I cannot find any pictures or examples of this design online. Plenty with a batting elephant, but the elephant is on all fours with bat in his trunk, no examples anthropomorphized in uniform. Pittsburgh Pirates: This one seems common, but still seeing values from $25 to $100, which is a wide range. New York Yankees: Only found one example of this style, bat and crown, and it was on an auctioneers site that required signing up to get more information. I know the Yankees are popular, so if unusual this would be worth something. I figured a specialty forum would have people in the know, who could tell me some more information on these. Trying to figure out how worth it it would be to start an Ebay account and become a seller, just for these five items. Any advice or knowledge will be most appreciated. Thank You in advance. |

If you listed “for sale” and didn’t mind waiting, you could eventually get a little more for each, including $125-150 for the Athletics. That’s a great looking pennant. |

As a seller, you would pay no fees to eBay or PayPal. As buyers, we can avoid the sales tax. A win-win and worth a try. |

seems pretty steep
I've been looking for one of these, but the price seems very high. Is this really the going rate for one of these?

Paul, I just sold the pennant I had a few weekends ago at a show in Detroit to a dealer. I let mine go for $450 which is know is a little low, but I also knew the guy buying it so I cut him a deal. |

I only modified it because it had previously been doctored; and, I couldn't remove the prior owner's alterations. Painting over them was the only option; and the goal was simply to make it display-able again. Regardless, it's re-sale value is nil. And I intend to keep it that way: it's now on permanent display in my garage. With two tacks in it. Just as it's maker intended. |
Very good points, Kyle. Two (perezfan) negatives equal a positive.
Just two tacks? :p |

I’d post this under “Hey, pillowcase guys” but this has enough in common with pennants … in fact it seems as if Trench made this. The lettering in “Souvenir” is the sign, and of course the stadium graphic. 20” by 20”.
Any Indians collectors know anything more about these? A search reveals a few different colored versions, including one with pink fringe. Some like mine have a Browns pennant graphic (bottom left), dating to no later than 1953; have seen one with an Orioles pennant. |

Decorative pillowcases were a popular item for a while in the last century, but haven't seen too many baseball.

One thing that bugs me and probably only me: either "unfurl" the surrounding pennants if you want to show full names (e.g. SENATORS) or show them "furled" with SENORS, YANES, etc. :p |

I came across this ad in a 1969 NLCS program (Braves vs Mets).
Not the rarest pennant in the picture, but I always enjoy seeing photos of pennants from when they were issued. |
LOVE that image. Great 1960s style!

I have a few w/o the trademark. The Braves kept that design for a while and it came both ways.

It seems slim picking for pennants recently, but I've managed to find a few new arrivals. Satchel has some condition issues but as rare as it is, I didn't want to miss it.
|
Great stuff, Gary! Satchel really isn’t all that bad.

Excellent haul...especially considering how dry the pennant scene has been as of late. The Paige pennant wouldn't barely register with me as having condition issues. If it's not ripped, stained or written on...it's just patina.
|
Agree... that's a very nice Paige, and you'd have been crazy to let it go (given the rarity and historical importance). Those are pretty minor condition issues in the scheme of things.
Awesome haul.... cannot believe how much quality vintage pennants have dried up, vs. years past. If not for a Reds pennant my friend Sean recently found for me, it's been 7-8 months since I've found one worth buying. My longest drought in past 30 years! :eek: |
Our buddy in the UK is killing it! :p

Thanks guys. Trying to find bargains where I can.
The 1978 ASG was really dirty and I bought it on the hope that I could clean it. It took a bit of soaking (and a little bleach) but it turned out rather nice. This is the before and after. |

I came upon this in my hunt for pennants. Trench's Dodgers Bum wasn't as unique as we might have thought. Or it could just be me who was surprised to see it.

I’m finally getting around to cataloguing my pennants, thought I’d post a few rare Cardinals pennants because why not …
|
What's that first pennant say in the copyright?
And, I know we discussed this before, but what's with the Spanish language on these 1960s Cardinals pennants? El Birdos?? :confused: |
Great pennants Greg. Thanks for sharing.
I love "Super Birds eat Tiger Meat". I doubt that one would be produced today. |

“Amadee” is the first name of the cartoonist who drew the graphic. Here is a button for sale on eBay which gives some more background. https://ebay.us/m/GkxVMX While this seems to credit the phrase “El Birdos” and “El Cardos” to Orlando Cepeda, my understanding is that they were coined by the Cardinals third base coach, Joe Schultz (who later managed the Pilots). The Cardinals collectors here would know more. |

Finally, some life in the pennant thread! I love the first four you posted, Greg! It’s great you (we) could find out about the artist from your ebay link.
|
In addition to Eating Tiger Meat, I don't think "El Birdos" would fly either (sorry, bad pun).
It would be Los Pajaros in Spanish, but if they thought "Birdos" was clever, at least say Los Birdos instead of El Birdos. :rolleyes: |

A bit of a crossover thread here, but I have these two pinbacks in my collection.
|
Nice Pins.... those are toughies. But again.... "El" is singular. Should've been Los Birdos and Los Cardos.
But I get it.... nobody else cares! |

Love the Cardinals pennants. I’ve never seen some of those before and scour eBay monthly for them. Pretty neat.

Did anyone here win this beauty today? I was an underbidder but was too high for me.

Like you, I dropped out of the Cochrane pennant because there were a number of others in the auction that I wanted. I managed to pick up that 38 Tiger Pennant. |

A couple of new pickups from the National yesterday.
I've not seen the Texas Rangers pennant before. I was told it's from their first year...anyone here have more Ninfas about it? |

Those are great. Feel free to message me if you see any Giants I might want. :p |
Quote:
Yes, first year Rangers (and their best by a mile). They barely snuck this one in prior to the days of corporate logos and mass-production. |
Quote:
Yes i came across the pond...but technically I came across the pond for a business trip. But it was incredible fortuitousness that it coincided with the national. :) |
