Speaking of Vintage Pennants

Re: Speaking of Vintage Pennants

Hi Aaron,

Great to hear from you again! I wish I could say that I was the winner of that pennant on ebay but I didn't even see the darn thing (not that I had any $$ left over from the other two , good thing I didn't see it).

Does anyone have a link to those pennants? Would have loved to see them.

Greg

I can't find them on E-Bay anymore, Greg -- they must have closed more than 30 days ago. Anyone know how to find E-Bay auctions closed more than 30 days ago?

At a minimum, if someone can remember the name of the seller, we should be able to find individual links in their feedback section.

I tracked down the name of the seller and you can still see some of the pennants he listed in his completed sales (others are in his feedback section).

Here's the nice Cubs pennant he sold:

Here's a nice Phillies pennant he sold:

He also sold a nice 1914 Braves pennant (which i don't remember him ending early, but for some reason I can't find) and that 1915 Red Sox pennant I mentioned to Greg.

Re: Speaking of Vintage Pennants

Thanks Aaron.

As luck would have it, I actually found about the auction about three hours ago. It was purchased by my friend who just shot me an email. Very cool piece.

I just noticed ebay went with a generic "bidder 1, 2, 3" now instead of using someone's user name.

That really stinks. Sometimes I will intentially not bid on something if I see that a friend has bid on it already. I also see it as a good potential for some shill bidding to start occurring.

That and the fees going up. Somebody said it somewhere, ebay needs some competition out there.

Thanks again though for the links, greatly appreciated.

Ah ha! Did he happen to mention how much he paid for it??

Agree with your points on E-Bay. I like being able to track other collector's purchases (as well as my own). I don't understand what they are trying to prevent? And the potential for shilling would seem to be expanded exponentially as you point out. I don't get why E-Bay so often "fixes" things that don't need fixing.
