Fantastic! Guess that solves the mystery of the material.

Oh boy. Well that really makes sense then.

Great stuff!!!! Thanks to everybody. Now I am a bit disappointed, primarily because it is from the 1960s. But still it is great to know.

Now let’s solve the mysteries of why the Phillies don’t have a stadium pennant and the Cubs never had a team picture pennant. :)

Not the traditional team photo pennant. But they have a few from 1969. here is one example

Nice! Now, what is it about the Cubs (and even White Sox) with their team pictures being just players’ heads, like on this pennant. I’m thinking now primarily about baseball team cards (Topps) from the 70s. Some didn’t even show necks, just disembodied heads. No other team, but the Cubs did it often and also the Sox. There has to be an explanation!

Thanks for sharing the pic ...

Those are some great Cubbie pennants!

So did anyone see the batch of old Phillies pennants that ended last night on eBay? Each was described in the listing as having come from a collector "who looked not only for quality, but for unusual features and variations in graphics and colors" (exact quote).

Well, turns out the entire batch was auctioned as a lot by Huggins and Scott one month ago. Same exact pennants with some imperfections that clearly identify them.

Just found it interesting, that's all ....

Nice quick flip. 100+% profit. Not bad.

Absolutely a nice flip. It's the bit about the "collector" that was, um, unnecessary ...
