Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

I just picked up this NY Giants pennant. Believe it or not, I did not have an example of the iconic Giant in the Polo Grounds. I also picked up a Danbury Mint model. I know that these manufactured "collectibles" are not really collectable, but I like them. The detail is amazing. This joins my Candlestick and PacBell models. Also, I know my NYG pennant is Trench, thanks to Kyle's research. The pennant is 27" long. Does anyone know, did they make these in 30" as well?

Here’s a minty full size version in green felt ... tassels tucked behind ... has same trademark in same spot. Great pickup Rob!

Nice Greg!

Here's a red one in full-size, that I consigned through LOTG in their last auction...

Does this go for their football pennants as well?

Go big or go home, right?

I have 23-24" pennants...true 3/4. This one would be more like 7/8 :p

Also, on your Giants pennant ... there's a close-up of the sign above the Polo Grounds reading "N.Y. Giants." Didn't your buddy own that very sign? Didn't he also donate it to the S.F. Giants??

My buddy DID have the cast iron letters. I think you're right that the Giants now have them. P.S. The so-called "Giants Vault" at Oracle Park is pretty lame from what I've heard. I'll check it out next month.

You’re right!

But I assumed you already had that one. Next time I’ll be sure to axe.

More great stuff by Kyle at https://pennantfever.weebly.com/

I'm wondering, Kyle, if you have any photos of the paper sun visors that ASCO started with?

I agree with Rob. Another great blog post from Kyle.

Getting the wrinkles out?

Hello everyone,

Found a couple of pennants in a box folded up, one Mets on Michael Jordan... Is there a way to iron out the wrinkles without damage so they can be hung up?

Thanks!

Put the printed side down and iron with a warm iron.
