Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

Picked this up in the last Lelands auction. I probably overpaid, but oh well. I don't think I had seen this one before and don't believe it's in Mike's price guide...

Rob, you never overpay if you like it and, that is a gorgeous pennant. Nice

[perezfan]

That's s great pennant Rob!

Far more scarce than its 1951 All Star Game "sibling".

I had an itchy finger on that one, but am glad you got it! Probably another 5-6 years before another one turns up

Thanks for making me feel better about the $$$, Mark!

Great pickup Rob!

[mrkrab]

anyone ever see this one or any other teams in this style?

[perezfan]

That is exceedingly rare, and absolutely authentic.

A group of those surfaced about two years ago on eBay. I was only able to land the Red Sox (Batting Sock Mascot) and the White Sox. They are distinguished by the unique logos and the Criss-cross stitching in the middle of the felt reinforcement strip... Not meant to accommodate a stick, apparently!

Great post and great pennant. Only one I've ever seen in 25 years of collecting!

[mrkrab]

Would love to see your two like it if you ever get some down time! Thanks for the info. Any idea of age? its made so oddly that I'm a little thrown off.

[perezfan]

Circa 1951 or so. There were some really funky ones, including s great St. Louis Brownie. My stuff is packed away (recent move) but when I uncover it, I'll try to post some pics.

Lately I cannot attach photos from my cell. The "Manage Attachments" function no longer works for me. Anyone else having this issue?

Here is the Red Sox pennant from that odd early 1950s series. Note the different 'take' on the Batting Sock mascot, and the criss-cross stitching on the reinforcement strip.

[perezfan]

Has anyone here seen this version of the Brooklyn Bum? I haven't seen another quite like this one...

I love getting your pennant knowledge, Mark! Your story of this series reminded me of a group on ebay from maybe 10 years ago. I got the NY Giants one. Some went for a bit of money, others for nothing. I think the seller had a complete set of both leagues. I have a picture somewhere of all he had (would be happy to dig it up if anyone is interesting). These pennants supposedly were a CUBAN issue. Without digging mine out, I think they are all about 20 inches long.

[Bumpus Jones]

Please do Rob. I'd like to see the Reds version. Thanks

Hey Chris - sorry, this is all I could find. My notes also tell me they were a Venezuelan issue, not Cuban. eBay prices were Tigers $114, Cardinals $16, Cubs $66, Red Sox $10, Giants $16 and Phillies $27.

[Lou Criscione]

Any ideas as to what this Cubs is worth? I have a chance to buy it, but at a very high price. I don't see it in the Egner price guide.

Thanks!
Lou
P.S. We just picked up over 200 nice vintage pennants (30's through 60's mostly baseball & football) and we're going to look at more this weekend. Hopefully we'll be getting some nice stuff.

I'm thinking this pennant may be in the same series. I do not own it. This is a crummy ebay scan I saved.
