I had no idea that there were more pennants. I had offered a good bit more than he was asking. But I was leery of getting scammed. And I could not afford to risk thousands. In the end, the seller got much more than $40 and 2x to 3x more than I was willing to risk alone. So he benefited in the end, Rob and I are getting some benefits. And others down the line will hopefully benefit as well (I’m keeping the Giants though).

^^^^ As Mike Wolfe would say, “picking folklore.”

There is also some poetic justice in this for me. I was officially suspended from one of the main facebook pennant groups about a month ago for telling someone that their pennant with a "Reproduction Company" tag was both original and old (it was a Michigan football pennant). This lot that Rob and I purchased has a good number of Reproduction Company pennants. The Giants will be the first Repco pennant that I own.

What a great find and an amazing story. Congrats. If your looking to sell any of the baseball pennants, I'd certainly be interested.

Wow! What a story. Great ending for both parties.

In doing some research today, I came upon this pennant from the 1913 Giants-White Sox world tour. I thought it was pretty cool.

Way, way cool! Some truly historic events on this tour. Wonder if any other pennants from it are known?
