Here is my St. Mary's. Both of my kicked football series pennants (Santa Clara, St. Mary's) seem to be a bit higher quality than the typical football runner pennant now identified as Epstein. Perhaps they cost a bit more? I also can't help but notice how many different versions of the kicker there are given the small sample of pennants. |

Joe, that Cornell pennant is beautiful. Never seen it before--thanks for sharing.
Marc, who knew there were so many variations of the Epstein punter, kicking the football across the pennant? Even when they used the same punter, they still altered him ever so slightly to enable the school name to fit on the tail-end of the pennant.

This likely won’t excite anyone given how plain it is, but I was psyched to pick this up recently. A quasi-farm club of the NYG in the 30s and 40s. I first started collecting pennants when I was still in school, mid-late 1990s and one of my first purchases was a shopping bag full of crumpled old pennants bought at a flea market. This was one of them, in slightly lesser condition. (This is not mint, either.)
At the time I had no interest in minor league pennants so I sold it not long after, and later regretted it. I especially like full-size minor league pennants now. Hadn’t seen this again or ant JCG pennant until this one … Last edited by thetahat; 03-11-2024 at 05:28 PM. |

Made an old-fashioned trade of pennants and pinback buttons and came away with this beauty. The Yankees pennant I believe is from the 50’s.

As part of my trade, I also picked up this small Yankees pennant. Reminds me one ones I've seen attached to pinback buttons but I couldn't find an example when I searched. Does it look familiar to anyone?

My little Yankees pennant has been identified as a 1952 to 1962-ish pennant from the Tom’s Peanuts set.

Picked up a small lot of pennants recently, the prize being this well-loved 1978 All Star game pennant featuring the Padres’ swinging friar.

Another recent pick up. Living in Richmond, Va. since 1997, I’ve seen two minor league baseball teams come through and there were teams here before that. I’ve provided security for both the Richmond Braves (AAA) and the Richmond Flying Squirrels (AA), so I’ve developed an interest in minor league memorabilia.
This minor league AAA Omaha Royals pennant caught my eye so I picked it up. It’s seen better days but I think I can clean it up some. Omaha was a member of the American Association from 1969 to 1997, so the pennant is at least 27 years old. |

Here’s another great 1970’s pennant with the Padres’ Swinging Friar that I picked up in that same lot. Another candidate for a good cleaning.

That '78 All Star pennant looks really good to me. Not sure I would mess with that one. I would put it in the top 20% of those that have survived. That stiff white polyester felt was notorious for soiling, toning and browning.
Yours might benefit from bleaching, but looks pretty darned good as-is!

Seems like there’s a regular OxiClean and a whitening one. Do you remember which one you used?

These are the remaining pennants that I picked up this week in a lot. Nothing special, but I do like the ‘84 Padres one with the scroll of names. Sometimes you have to buy ones you don’t want to get to the ones you do want.

I wouldn't mess with the 78 All Star. It's not going to get much whiter than that. The risk outweighs the rewards.

Ditto.
Embrace its patina.

Anyone have any tips on getting creases out?
|
#8421
|
||||
|

Steam iron the reverse side only (medium heat). Keep the iron moving, and not in one place for too long. Practice on a couple of cheap/expendable pennants first, until you get the hang of it. Do not iron the front side.
Some turn out better than others, but ironing seems to work to a certain extent on virtually all all types of cloth/felt. Go easiest on the white pennants, as they will show brownish burn marks more easily than darker pennants. Keep that iron moving, and did I say not to iron the front side? Best of luck.... let's see the before and after results, once completed.

A couple of new arrivals.
It's my first Astros pennant. The price I paid for it was less than the cost of the toploader it came in. I do love a bargain.
