My latest pickup arrived in the mail this week

This is an amazing pennant. I also have it, but have never seen another. Nice pick up

Decent description by Jon (for him anyway). Hard to tell much with his usual solo picture, but pretty nice job by someone compared to some of other the crafts class rejects I've seen out there. A guy in Canada sells pennants that look like children's art for a couple hundred bucks a pop. At least he did...I excluded him from my searches years ago.

You'd think, with all the effort to do a pretty good job in making this look almost passable, they would've take more care to use an authentic spine. I've seen this style of Packers pennant a hundred times. I think I have two of them. And I've never seen a spine on them that looked like that.

That's scary good for a repro, and a copout by Jonsstats, who surely knows better. "I WILL LET THE BIDDERS DECIDE EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS." In other words, "I have sold 87,000 items and bidders rely on my expertise, but in this case I'm claiming ignorance because it good enough to get substantial bidding." BS, that's all.

+1. Just be honest and forthright. Your reputation is worth far more than a few extra bucks.

Co-signed. If something is not authentic or original, just say so.

Actually, this is no repro and I shouldn't have referred to it as such. It's an out-and-out fake, intended to deceive, with cracked paint, wool, and all. Best fake pennant I've ever seen, wrong spine notwithstanding, and if whoever made this gets more active, it could prove disruptive and lead to the slabbing and grading of pennants.

This pennant was originally sold by someone who had a similar fugazi Dallas Texans pennant, which I bought and returned. Same quality fake. The letters and graphic were cut out and glued - poorly - not even to the edges so you can see underneath. There is absolutely, positively no way that even a non-collector could hold this and conclude that it is anything but a homemade job.

Good to hear, as the picture made it look good. All the more reason Jonsstats has no business acting as if it might be real.
