Hey, pennant guys

[edtiques]

I believe I have a Winning Streak Prototype pennant. Note the back where the barcode is supposed to be, it just says "barcode". I haven't found another one like it. It measures 6 x 15 inches. Any help with a value would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

No idea, unfortunately. Maybe $25?

Thank you for your response. I know that you're very knowledgeable about pennants but that estimate seems kind of low to me. I don't think they ever produced pennants like this for retail sale.

I’m guessing that the resale merchant was to put a barcode sticker over the blank box. That’s what it looks like on another similar WS pennant that was sold at the Red Sox stadium store. But this being a modern pennant, even with what you claim renders it scarce, the question is how many collectors out there care about it enough to affect its value. My guess is few if any. Also I just noticed that this is a smaller pennant so I think $25 might be too high. If I’m mistaken I would certainly welcome any correction from the others.

I see your point and I appreciate your reply. I wasn't saying that you were mistaken, I just imagined it being worth a lot more. You're right about it not being that much more valuable to most collectors though. It is a modern pennant (I've had it for 12-13 years) and it doesn't have the appeal like vintage pennants do.

I like the Winning Streak pennants and have 8-10 full size ones for the SF Giants. I don’t think the smaller ones have much value. Hell, the bigger ones aren’t valuable. That said, if this is indeed a prototype there might be a die hard Red Sox collector who would want it.

Here's a similar 15" pennant for $9.99 or Best Offer....

Here's one with the Bar Code Sticker placed over the spot that says "Bar Code". It is not a prototype... just a marker indicating where the retailer should price the item...
