This is getting very interesting (at least for me
). My Giants pennant is soft felt and fullsized. The seller originally said he got in 1982. I emailed him again and here's the full story:
"The pennant is from the 1950's or 1960's it was in a storage room at WinCraft in Winona, MN. I received it from a relative who was cleaning out an old store room. I received it in 1982 but it is much much older. The other pennants with that look are from the late 1950's and early 1960's. For example I've seen a MN Twins pennant w/ a Harmon Killabrew card in it."
Mark (perezfan) told me he equates Wincraft with stiff modern pennants (as did I) but the company has apparently been around since 1961.
One more thing....the pennant below looked full size to me but it is 20". I'm pretty stoked to have maybe the only full size player photo pennant (prototype, perhaps?)
One more, more thing....I usually only see Giants pennants. It would be nice to have a thread where we all compare the similar pennant themes used by multiple teams....
