I love it! I'm sure some may not like our penchant for "improvements," but I have always been one to try and clean things up.

Mark - did you get the soiled pennant you were after?

And now for something completely different...
 

On a bit of a cold streak with sellers on eBay lately. One problem after another...This was two different sellers but both happened to arrive on the same day. Yes...There are pennants inside.

I'm sure this will flatten right out...

This one wasn't quite as bad...but not the way I'd do it...or want it.

This is actually the second Saran Wrap roll up I've gotten in the past few months...Interesting technique.

Haha, Rob.... I've gotten the dreaded "Saran Wrap Roll" a few times myself.

Interesting technique, and like you say... not the preferred method. But it definitely beats that horrific Redskins fold-over job. I'd return that one just on principle alone.... even if it does iron out. :rolleyes:

Excellent work by your seamstress... that's about the best result you could've hoped for on the Jets. Looks great! So did she do both the removal of the old spine and the addition of the new? Beautiful work and great pennant!

Nope... high under-bidder once again. I was afraid to bid too high on it, given the red graphics and uncertain results.

But it might have still been a great candidate for bleach. I liked it because that particular Running Cardinal Mascot is always associated with Football (never Baseball). A rare one, and a Championship Season... pictured below.

I'll take the Saran Wrap Roll Up method over the Pennant Origami method every time. ;)

Yes...She handled the removal too. And saved the original spine for me so I can give it a bleach job and hopefully reuse it. Can't wait to bring my Giants pennants over to her.

The rolled up lot of pennants I just rec'd I actually purchased for their spines...Lots of orange and red ones which I need. But now that I've flattened them out...They're kind of growing on me. Just a bunch of 1969-70's era baseball. Might keep a couple of the nicer ones...Unfortunately, the nicer ones also have the nicest spines.

Notice my Redskins replacement pennant...that was the look I was going for. But, missed it by that much. ;)

That was a cool one Mark. Too bad it got away.

Wow Rob, I am blown away by how cool that Namath Jets pennant came out. Kudos to the seamstress for a wonderful job.

I was never really much of a pennant collector. Then I started reading this thread from the beginning and seeing how cool the vintage pennants look and dragged out a couple of the ones I owned. Now I have the fever and placed a few bids on some 70's Yankees, Jets, Knicks & Islanders pennants. Hope I win at least one to jump start the collection.

There is one pennant in particular I am looking for. It was given out by the Yankees back in 1982. It features the 1981 AL Championship team. I want it because it was from one of the first games (second one, actually) I went to and it's one of the happiest memories I have with my grand mom who is now passed on. I actually still have it, but its all dark with age and grime. I don't think its a candidate for the bleach treatment as it's a darker pennant and has a team photo on it. I just want a cleaner one so I can display it.

Mike

un-freaking-believable. :eek:
