perezfan - thanks for the info and the insight.
I probably was not clear enough on the point I was making. If you've seen some of my previous posts - I often do not like the way some auctioneers described their offerings. In this case Legendary knows full well that the logo worn by the Cubs in 1908 was not used by them prior to 1908. Then they show a pennant with nearly the same logo - and they date it to 1905. IMO they are trying to imply that this pennant was in some way an early "prototype" to the first Cubs logo to appear on a uniform.
Would this enhance the value of the pennant - perhaps. Absent hard evidence to the contrary (which I seriously doubt they have) - this pennant has to be post - 1908 and derived from that year's logo - they are just too close in design to think otherwise.
