    Anyone collect vintage NFL/MLB Sports Pennants?

    I collect Washington Reskins pennants and used to collect Baltimore Orioles pennants.

    It is a part of the sports collectible market that has generally fallen under the radar.

    Someone finally took a first stab at putting a price guide together and although it isn't the best guide I have seen, at least it is a start.

    If anyone has vintage pennants and would like to know what they are worth, just send me a picture of your pennant and I'll tell you what the guide says it's worth (there all a little over inflated) but it is a good relative gauge and it also gives rarity ratings.

    Unfortunately, they don't cover college pennants. That is another area that is unloved. I can pick up University of Maryland Terrapin pennants for $10-$15 that are unbelievably rare but most people just don't collect it.

    I have only briefly looked through the book so far but there is a really rare Dallas Texans (right before they became the Cowboys) that is valued over $1,000 which is the most expensive pennant that I have seen so far.

    Whoa....just took a quick gander at the Baseball pennants and some of the real old ones command some high dollars in the $8,000 range.

    It looks like the pennants produced prior to 1940 are super rare and command big time prices. The NFL pennants don't appear to be produced until the 1940's even though there are a few teams (I believe the Cardinals is the oldest franchise) and has been around since the early 1920's I think.
