Every one of those is awesome. Wow!

Just in case anyone was wondering...I didn't really get this at Lelands. I'll stick to knock knock jokes with this crowd. ;)

On a cold streak right now...but the upshot is my savings account is off life support.

Don't quit your day job. ;)

I'm posting this here because I just realized it ties in with Kyle's incredible pennant research...

I picked up this duplicate because it is a tough and unique pin and I couldn't pass it up for 10 bucks. I just now noticed the Sportservice "Double S" mark. Of my 800+ Giants pins, I think this is the only one with that mark...

Nice pick-up, Rob. Love it when these pins come with the ribbon and trinket combo.

So, the Sportservice concessionaire's mark tells us this was likely purchased inside the ballpark--maybe even with a pennant.

Any maker's mark on the backside?

No makers mark; just what we pin guys call the Union “bug.”

Astros pennants
 

Two recent pickups. The top pennant is pretty common, but I had been looking for one in Astros colors (it's blue and orange... my picture makes it look black). It has the double s Sportservice baseball logo.

I have been looking at Astrons pennants for a few years (sometimes more seriosuly than others), but had never seen the bottom one before. Most Astros pennants from the 60s through the 80s focus on the Astrodome. I like the tequila sunrise pattern on this one. It's a bit rough, but seems to be uncommon.

Bleach canidate? :eek:

Bleach
 

Yeah... what about the red? Likely to run?

I did red pennant of that era with great success. My 1962, not so much. I’ll post a pic tomorrow.

As Clint asked, “Well, are you feeling lucky?” :p
