This was a very important comment. Ive received many with tips damaged, due to either the following...

Tip was touching adhesive strip, and it took a portion of felt with it.

Tip was too close to the edge of the box, and got caught in the sealing tape.

By simply placing the pennant in a plastic sleeve, this can be avoided. The plastic also protects pennant from potentially getting wet (a recurring issue here in Seattle). I wish there was a way to make the plastic sleeves mandatory for ebay sellers. The major auction houses almost always use them.
