I've never given pennants a lot of consideration, but looking at pictures of other collectors displays on the main page, I really like the way they look nicely framed. |

Tim, Pennants are one of my favorite niches of the hobby. I picked up a few over the last 20 years, but dove in head first about two and a half years ago. There are many collectors here who will gladly offer advice (honest advice). While he may not admit it, Mark Steinberg has taught me the most by far and has one of the most impressive pennant collections in the country. |

Mike nailed it... those are some great basics of pennant collecting. Go after what you like, whether it is the artistry, a favorite mascot or logo from days gone by, or a pennant that commemorates something special to you (World Series, All Star Game, Championship Season, etc.) These dated or year-specific pennants tend to be more expensive, and are always more in demand. |

Mark, I've never seen that Giants pennant before - it's a real beauty! Also love that Iffy pennant! |

Aaron, There was an example of Mark's Tigers pennant with the caricature of (Cobb maybe?)at the National this year, but it was very trashed. |

Pennants also are among my favorite pieces of memorabilia. The one thing I would add, and this really is dictated more by personal taste, is don't always assume that a pennant without tassels is worth less than the same one that has them. I've come across a number of dealers who will price a pennant 20-30 percent higher simply because it has tassels. And I've seen more than one collector pass on a really tough pennant because it did not have them. Again, it's personal preference, and if a pennant having its tassels is important to you, that's certainly fine. Just don't accept it as gospel that they're a must to command maximum value. And remember, not all vintage pennants were made with tassels. |

Great point Rob. I much prefer tassels, but have many pennants without that I love. I am more of a stickler when the tassels were clearly present at one time, then ripped or cut off. I'll still buy them, but will pay more for tassels. |

I could not agree more Mark. I just dont understand the card grading stuff and dont care to learn. Lets just hope grading never reaches pennants or any kind of memorabilia because it will be a cold day in hell when I start sending my stuff off to have some randon person tell me how nice they think it is (and charge me for it). |
