Ps. Also pictured is that great Pirates Pennant with the Ship that you love! We sure had to work lots harder, and network through the mail before the days of eBay and Internet Auctions. And now that it’s much easier, the good stuff has pretty much dried up!
Mark! Whoa that’s fantastic! Yes this was before my collection went off-the-rails crazy. And there’s the Pirate ship pennant! Back then I used to go to the quarterly shows outside Philly and sell/trade, I unloaded it and quickly regretted it. Thanks for sending that pic ...

Back then there was no spelling correction on eBay and I used to check “pennent” and “penant” ... I hit the motherload one day on about 20 pennants that went dirt cheap! .... Now I’m still buying and putting them right into those big Tupperware containers ... I need help!
