Hot Springs Bather,
You are very correct in how schools vary in the demand for vintage items. A couple months ago, I bought a collection of Sugar Bowl pennants from the 40's and 50's. I paid $25-$50 each and the schools included Tenn, WV, UNC, Navy, Oklahoma, Kentuckey, Maryland, Clemson.
These pennants were from the same era, and the prices I sold them for ranged from WV (cannot sell for $30) to Tenn (sold for $250).
I have bought and sold many things on eBay to fund my collection and I've noticed Texas, LSU, ND, USC, Mich, and a few other schools bring big money.
I remember one time I found a 1960's calendar of Wisc with Bucky on it. It was mint, still in the package. It was a wooden calendar that you could use over and over (the dates slide in slots). It sold for $10.
If it was LSU or some other school, it would have easily gone for $100+.
