Collecting baseball pennants can be a fun hobby for a sports memorabilia fan, or a fan of a particular baseball team. A collector can choose to collect pennants that were made during a certain year, a certain era, or pennants spanning the entire history of one team. The variety in pennants in colors, materials and designs is so that any collection is bright and varied, and livens up any room in which it’s displayed.
Baseball cards stand as the leader among baseball collectibles, which causes many people to overlook things like baseball pennants, which are just as collectible and can be quite valuable. In fact, as far as an investment goes, pennants hold their value steady more than cards, which fluctuate based on a number of factors. While it’s unlikely that you’ll find baseball pennants that are worth as much as the top value baseball cards, you’ll have a more steady investment and a great-looking item to enjoy.
Baseball pennants are larger than baseball cards, and more easy and satisfying to display because of that, especially for fans of one team. While they take up more room, the space they occupy is typically on the wall, rather than in albums or boxes like cards, so they’re great for people with limited storage space. They serve as decoration as much as simply a collectible display, and are easy to theme a baseball room around, or feature prominently in a room filled with memorabilia from other sports besides baseball.
Thrift stores, yard sales and flea markets are a good place to browse for baseball pennants. Many people acquire them and never realize that they might have value beyond that of a souvenir, so it’s not unusual to find a true vintage pennant in one of these relatively cheap ways! Some older pennants can even be purchased through Major League Baseball and its affiliates, so it pays to check the official sources. And of course you can purchase new ones there, too.
Online auctions like eBay are a great way to find baseball pennants. While you might not be able to find the exact year a pennant was made when you’re purchasing through yard sales and auctions, this shouldn’t deter you from getting a pennant that you love. You can always research it later to try to find the year, if you’re interested in the history of the pennant.
When looking at baseball pennants, especially online, make sure you ask what material the pennant is made from, as this should affect the price and the value. (Also look into purchasing inexpensive pennant protectors so you can display your treasures without worry.) Felt pennants are the least expensive, and the more easily damaged ones, while wool pennants command higher prices and make a better investment. The earliest pennants from the 1940s will probably cost you more than those made later, but you may be able to find a great vintage pennant for much less than you think, especially if the current owner doesn’t realize its potential value.
