Hey, pennant guys

[Fballguy]

The annual pennant sort/reconciliation is underway. Been meaning to do this since quarantine started in March.

Nice. Please post any cream of the crop that we haven't seen!

Did you guys see this? Pretty decent price ($345) for a 10 inch pennant.

The original plan for today was to build a google album of just my baseball pennants, but once I started I realized a full reboot was in order. Only got halfway done today. My wife is a good sport.

Of course, "her half" of the bedroom looks fairly normal.

Yes, please do a Google album! Love those!

Waiting for Mark to do a Google album of his $1000+ pennants.

Haha... very funny!

I threw out my back, bending down for hours and sorting thru them all last time. As a result, the chiropractic bills are about the equivalent of that '55 World Series Pennant (the one in in Lelands - not the one Greg "stole").

So if you want to come up to Seattle and help, I'll be more than happy to do the album! If it's any consolation, I am at least 20 miles away from the current insanity.

I think we should all go up and declare Mark’s entire collection “the Peoples’ Pennants” ....

Anyone buy this on ebay? Seller had it as an auction, starting bid of $800, but ended it early by selling to someone for $600. I couldn't find any past sales for it anywhere.

Would love to see your Eagles pennants... I don’t have many football, but this is probably my favorite, any idea as far as age?

That logo is similar to the Eagles logo of the 1930s, but I don't know if this pennant goes back that far. I have a full size version in green, I've always attributed to the 1950s, but it's likely older.

I've been playing around sorting out pennants for the past few days. Again the intent was a baseball project but I've back burnered that idea while I take inventory on my football. I'll take some Eagles pics and share. In the meantime, here's a few I took in the last 24 hours. I had no idea I had so many duplicate Rams.

Rob those are awesome! Very cool Rams pennant on eBay, not sure if still active, with a full body ram graphic.

Can’t wait to see the Eagles and the baseball pics.

By the way, do you know if there is a “Steagles” pennant in existence? I have seen the Cardinals-Steelers pennant but not Phil-Pitt.

Great pickup Greg... You got it for a pretty nice price. His original $800 was a bit steep, but I think it's worth every penny you paid. I have the 1940 Tigers/Reds WS Pennant with same exact graphics and double-scroll. But yours is a bit rarer. Condition looks phenomenal as well. Nice pickup!

Rob- Great stuff as always. More than a few in there that I'm drooling over because they never come available. Very nice!

On a separate note, I just picked up this one. It rarely surfaces, because you had to redeem trading card wrappers to get it. And normally (if you can even find one) it's badly faded and/or soiled with cracked graphics. This one was the nicest I'd ever seen, and was a nice upgrade for me....

I'll be looking to sell my existing one, which grades VG, and is more faded than the one linked above. If anyone is interested, please reach out for pics/pricing via email or PM. Thanks!

That’s the Rams one I mentioned in my last post! Very cool pickup!

Thanks about the ‘41 pennant. I’d never seen it before and image search comes up empty. I paid a BIN of $740. A tick steep? but I’m trying to get something from every Bkn Dodger WS season, don’t have 1916 or 1953.

I’ve seen this style pennant for the ‘39, ‘40 series and I already had ‘47. So I wonder if the years in between were made. My guess is the 1939 Yankees-Reds pennant was the oldest to show a “scroll” of player names. I wonder if we can find the maker of these .... (Domer?)

[perezfan]

Would love to know the maker as well....

Greg, I have seen that one pushing $1,000 on more than one occasion. Not sure if it has ever hit 4 figures, but has come very close. You did fine with the price!

Wish I knew, too. There were several different scrolls used throughout the 1940s ... perhaps from multiple different makers.

I don't think it's by Trench. They used the same white, narrow, single name scroll throughout the late 1940s-1980s. It looked different than this....

Greg...Here are some of my better Eagles. I thought the pennant I had like yours was full size, but it's not.

[Duluth Eskimo]

Rob,
Those are incredible groupings.

Really nice, Rob, thank you. The picture pennant is especially awesome, looks like great condition. You have any football scroll pennants? I’ve only seen two ... Browns and Bills AAFC. And some college bowl pennants ...

I can only remember the Bills coming up for auction once and there were other pennants in the auction I wanted more, so I didn't make much effort.

The Browns, I've seen a few times. The first time was a long time ago, before I could bring myself to spend more than $150 on a pennant, so I didn't even try. Then, about three years ago on ebay, and I thought I had a rock solid bid only to see it sell for about $500 more. It ended up going for close to $1300. Clean Sweep had one in even better condition a couple years ago, but I wasn't interested in spending over $1300 when there were other pennants in the auction that I wanted and it ended up selling for only $750, which was lower than my bid in the ebay auction a year earlier. So...Long story short...I don't have either.
