Not pictured in Mike's guide and was wondering if this is a '60's piece or perhaps a modern item? Seller has 3. Thanks!

Great early to mid 1960s pennant. It's authentic and somewhat rare. Definitely worth picking up, if you like it.

I do myself... and if he has 3, was hoping you could email or pm me with the seller's info. I wouldn't mind acquiring one of them if the price is right...

Thanks,
Mark

Don't know if you are able, but the San Francisco Tri Show is this weekend and there will be lots of Gaints stuff. Rich Hoskins will have a booth and he generally has lots of Gaints pennants at this show. I have purchased from him in the past and he has been very good to work with. I will be attending Saturday.

If he does have 3 and is willing to part with all 3 of them I would be interested as well if the price is right

Looks like I can pick up all three and I would be happy to movve the other two to interested members, but the seller isn't sure of their pricing. I really don't want to overspend. Any thoughts on fair value, assuming all three are in good/great shape? thanks again!

not sure on price, date appears to be prior to candlestick outfield being inclosed. Can't remember ex act yearwhen that was but it must have been mid sixties.

The process to enclose Candlestick started in 1971. Mark has a good guess for the era that it was issued, early/mid 60's

Thanks everyone, for the feedback and info. I appreciate it very much.

I was able to negotiate for all three and they are being shipped to me in Vancouver. I would be pleased to pass the other two on to interested board members and have rec'd a bunch of messages etc. I will offer pics and pricing to those who inquired first and go from there.
