| 1968 Detroit Tigers American League Champs Pennant.
These
Pennants were sold at souvenir stands in Tiger Stadium
during the 1968 World Series making them more rare than
the World Series Champion pennants that were sold during
the regular season the following year. There is also
another Detroit Tigers American League Champions pennant
(without the photo); Black, and Orange on white, that
sells for about $125. -$150. Condition is important.
Common
flaws with pennants are missing ties, pin holes, frying,
creases, and "crackling" on the 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.
