Looks like that Millers pennant made its way to the right home to be with its family

This 49ers just arrived today. Very tough color combo.

That�s from that lot of 12, from about a month ago? Did the winner of the lot ebay it or did you somehow track him down?

Yeah, it is from the ebay lot. The person who bought them listed it on ETSY, which I check maybe once per week. Got lucky.

Note to self: Check etsy a little more often.

I check etsy very infrequently. Are their selling fees significantly lower than ebay�s? I see etsy as a marketplace for �crafty� items and can�t see why anyone would list baseball memorabilia there (eyeball, wise). I�m glad you found your pennant!

I�ve bought three Giants items on etsy�.one was a smoking deal; another I never received and a pin from France that took a loooooong time to get here.

You need the patience of a saint to troll Etsy. There are a couple vintage sellers on there but aside from them you will be sifting through basically the worst items that get pulled into your eBay search. If you're running low on 1980s mini pennants or homemade flags of your favorite team, it's the place to be.

If you're just doing a couple teams, I guess it's not too bad. But for me, collecting all teams football, I lose interested after the Rams.

Well, you guys clearly aren't as bored as I am

Here are a few others I've picked up from ETSY this year. Usually the things I find/buy are relatively modern (1970s/1980s) but much more rare than people think.

One is a one-year pennant that is tough in general, but especially tough in orange (although there is a very beat up one on ebay right now).

The second is the rare cloth/1969 version of a rather common design.

But, yeah, mostly what I see is modern and not at all rare. It helps that I'm only looking for a few teams.

That cloth Giants is an awesome Etsy score Marc.

So, how is that any different than ebay?

I saw a good Etsy deal today on a Giants "coin purse" with the 1958 schedule on it. Good deal, but I have one.
