Hey, pennant guys

[thetahat]

Did anyone see the St. Louis Federal League pennant on eBay a few weeks ago? Had opening bid of $3K and BIN for $6K. Went unsold. Offered him a lot less but still a good chunk and he relisted and accepted. And that was the last I heard from him. eBay did resolve this with their guarantee so that’s good, but unfortunately there is some guy out there who literally stole money … unless eBay somehow got it back from him.

Anyone see this?

To tell you the truth, Greg, I think you dodged a bullet…that Feds pennant has very little of what JR likes to call “eye appeal.” That’s my opinion

Eye appeal is the only thing that matters about a pennant. If it doesn't have that, what does it have?

Yeah I hear ya. I mainly collect to display, but I always wanted a Federal League pennant which usually go for a lot more. Way more. Of course they are also much more pleasing aesthetically. So yeah I’m good either way. I’m a little disgusted that it led to me sitting out a Huggins auction for a 1910s Phillies which ended up going much lower than expected.

Picked up this ca. 1962-65 Los Angeles Angels "Chavez Ravine" stadium pennant by Trench, last month. It features the exact same ballpark artwork used for its Los Angeles Dodgers "Dodger Stadium" companion from the same era; with the addition of an angelic mascot.

Awesome pickup Kyle! That one is surprisingly tough, and very cool image, IMHO. It just screams '60s.

A great pennant for sure. Love the Angel graphic. Like Mark says it has that cool 1960s style cartoon art (similar to the Twins and Vikings “Grain Belt” pennants.
