Vintage Pennants

Re: Vintage Pennants

Hey Aaron....Just saw you became a new dad. Congrats!! It's the best thing anyone could ever do. My daughter just turned 9. In cleaning out the closet over the past few days came across a video of her the day she came home after we adopted her. I also came across a tape of our friends kids when they were just 5 and 3 years old. They're now 15 and 13. It seems like just yesterday when I filmed them.

Enjoy every minute of that precious kid of yours.

All the best and congrats again!
Greg

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the info on the pennants. I'm going to have to make a decision eventually.

Nice Burbach jersey you have there! I was the previous owner and was very pleased with it. Bugged me that I ended up selling it, but items come and go.

That's hilarious! Very small collecting world we all live in. I love the jersey. I wanted an inexpensive 1969 or earlier Yankee home flannel with Spalding tags for quite some time and finally settled on the Burbach. (I'm actually thinking of having the 100 year anniversary patch removed and was debating whether this might leave any noticeable stitch marks.)

Good luck on whatever you decide to do with the pennants. At least now you are armed with enough info to make an informed decision.

Thanks, Greg. I'm loving every minute of it so far -- it's been amazing.

BTW, does your BoSox dealer by any chance have that 1912 Red Sox World Series pinback I have posted on my blog? Been looking for that one for a looooong time!

Hi Aaron,

Informed decision yes...easy decision, no. I've had several offers to purchase them outright and would much rather do that than submit them to an auction house. I'm even cotemplating holding my own "auction" and taking "bids" on them for a week at a separate email address via my website. I'm just not sure.

At any rate, I've contacted the owner and we are currently discussing how we will go about the acquisition of the collection.

Thanks for all your help! I'll keep you posted.

Well, if you'd rather not consign them, you might just want to list them on E-Bay and give everyone a shot at them. As I mentioned, the group of similar era pennants on E-Bay last month all realized very healthy prices. You might get more at an auction house, but then you have to factor in the consignment fee and the delay in listing them (REA and Mastro won't have another auction until April).

If you do decide to list them on E-Bay, let me know and I can help you with the item descriptions. Again, good luck!
