Common
flaws with pennants are missing ties, pin holes, frying,
creases, and crazing or cracked printing.
Sometimes people will trim down or "Doctor" a
pennant to rid it of the frying or other flaws like a
flat tip (point) Caused by being pinned up and ripped
off. Any of these flaws will degrade the pennant
significantly. A 'Doctored" pennants is a term used
to describe a pennant that has been altered to cover up
a flaw. This practice is frowned upon among the
collecting community, and a Doctored pennant could sell
for less than a pennant with the flaws it was meant to
cover up.
