Hey, pennant guys

I’ve always wondered why they used Ebbets Field to pose as Wrigley for this pennant. The Cubs version is nearly impossible to find.

Gonefishin - I’m gonna give you my opinion on your pennants but I am a Giants only collector, so I really don’t know value on other stuff. There are pennant guys here who could probably give you better info and I hope they chime in.

I don’t believe the small Indians pennant has much value. Mini’s in general don’t have a ton of value and yours has a blunt tip. $25? I could well be wrong.

There is a pennant guide book that puts your Negro League pennant at. $250-350 but that MAY be the value for one in a little better shape. Yours is not ripped or moth eaten and has a good tip but it is a little faded. You may know that the generic graphic on the left hand side was used on many MLB pennants in the 40s and 50s. As I said, I’m no expert. I hope the true experts offer you what would be more informed opinions.

I agree with Rob on both counts. Not much value to the little Cleveland pennant. But the Negro League Pennant may have inched up a bit. I think $300 - $325 is about right for this one.

Also.... Congrats Kyle, on landing that nice Brooklyn Pennant!
