Great question...My system (or lack thereof) is so inefficient. Trying to find an individual pennant is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Love the flip/file idea. If it doesn't exist, I might have to invent it.

This is what I've done. It's OK but not perfect. It would be better with the binder clips shown in the second photo (you could actually unclip the back one and swing the pennant out for viewing) but after I threaded all the clips through the braided wire and crimped it, I realized the binder clips take up too much room. I had to go back and cut them all with wire cutters. It was a pain. If you do something like this, make sure you screw the brackets into wall studs....all those pennants get heavy.

I just realized, it's kind of hard to see that there is a center bracket. That one has screw eyes to "guide" the cable.

I also considered doing something with these:

Yes...The lightbulb went off when I saw your set up. If I get rid of all my wife's clothes, I can use all her little clippy hangers...and her closet...to hang all my pennants.

Now the question is...should I run it by her first or just surprise her?

I have my pennants staggered and displayed in hard cases. Probably should protect the most valuable ones a little better but don’t want to lose display area.

Thanks for the replies.

I wish I had a nice long wall, like Greg's, with no sunlight exposure. I have blackout curtains in my memorabilia room, but nowhere else. That probably won't change. Maybe I can try the partial overlap approach. Part of my problem is that I have pennants mixed with other items.

I do like how Rob's system allows you to get a lot of pennants into one relatively small space. I may try something like that.

Finally, has anyone figured out a way to store/protect oversized pennants (other than framing)? The top loaders just aren't big enough.

I dont like over cluttering wall space. At this point I like the rigid top loaders atop a waist high shelf. I can flip thru and rotate what I want on the walls. I dont have the qtys you all have yet[emoji16]

Cleveland pennant
 
I read through All 178 pages. Took three days. I saw a similar pennant but have not found where I saw it in this forum.
Any info would be helpful.

Hi ... this is a great thread, isn’t it? Your Indians pennant is made by Keezer, 1950s or early 60s. Being that it is a 2/3 size pennant and looks faded (?) ... hard to tell in pic ... you have a nice display pennant for a collection but with minimal resale value. Maybe in the ballpark of $20-25 on eBay. A full-size version of this pennant in VG condition would be closer to $75-125.

Cleveland pennant
 
Greg, many thanks for your reply. That's actually good news to me as I purchased a large lot and this was just added free as an afterthought.

There is also a crumpled Mets one which I might go back and get now that I have pennant fever. Lol
