I hate the idea of using tacks or anything, especially since this is made of a pretty heavy canvas material, and I would worry about damaging/tearing it by hanging that way. I have spoken to a few framers, and they wouldn't touch it due to its size. My latest idea (although a bit ridiculous) is to have 2 large pieces of thin plexiglass made into a sort of giant screwdown case that I could hang on my wall. I have talked to a plexiglass supplier, and my plan was to have 2 large sheets made with screwholes along the edges that I could use to tighten the pieces together, thus sealing the flag inside. Sort of a ridiculous idea, but it might work. Anyway, here is the flag.

I love both the Pirates and Eagles banners
I have my SF flag from Wrigley under plexiglas but your flags are much bigger. The Wrigley flag is "only" 3' x 6' and I got the plexi at a Sears hardware store. If you can get plexi big enough for your flags, I say do it!
