Not surprised. That Grail truly belongs in Rick’s collection.

Here’s a question. Why do the Tigers have the most attractive pennants ... far and away. Probably the most variations, too, and the most dated pennants that do not commemorate a championship. But I don’t know of any scroll pennants of theirs besides the funky 1940 and the ‘45.

I’ve got a few. One is a really unique gold color and the other is a beautiful raspberry color. Both are super gorgeous and rare. I’ll post pics if I can find them.

I agree that Tigers pennants throughout the years are the best by far. It started in the teens (with oversized beauties) and continued all the way through the sixties, with more variations than any other team, by far. They also had more “Stadium” versions than any other team.

Would love to know why, but it would probably take thousands of hours of googling, only to come up with nothing. Perhaps their person in charge of concessions just loved Pennants the way we do! :D

Why it went for so much less than the others is a mystery to me. Those 3 are all equally rare (behind the Red Sox). So I couldn’t lay off of it, given the low price it was at. And even though I’d already spent my wad with Lelands, I ended up getting it.

Now it’s time to sell some stuff!

I want to know what you're going to sell :)

I’ll list some right in this thread if you want. Or on the BST, or both...

Marc, you like the Giants and the Houston Teams... is that right? If anyone else has specific team requests, just post here. I need to do some house cleaning but it’s a huge pain in the neck accessing and digging through bins, and taking/posting pics.

I didn’t have a good filing system, so there is stuff buried everywhere. Last week, I was looking for a specific pennant that someone wanted, and probably had to dig through 400 pennants before I found it. So please be patient if it takes a little time!

On a separate note...

Is this not one of the best pennants of the post-war era? This one really has it all...

The Willard Mullin Bum inside a cloud
The caption “A New Home”
An amazingly detailed portrayal of the Coliseum
Beautiful colors and detail
Sports Specialties logo!
Perhaps the first-ever Dodgers pennant in LA.

I don’t think they used the Bum for more than a year or two after departing Brooklyn. I guess he just didn’t catch on with all the glitz and glimmer of LA. But I’ve always thought this Pennant is one of the very best, in terms of its aesthetics and telling a story.

Anyone else want to post a pennant they love, for any reason whatsoever?

I guess this one is no slouch either. It’s fun digging through stuff and re-discovering lost treasures.

Great stuff! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Bum on orange felt (as much as I’d love to). But here’s a true purple, much in the style of the Minnesota Vikings. It’s a beautiful pennant in person... cell phone pics just don’t do it justice.

Gotta love those “off color” pennants!

If I had to pick one ... it’s not pristine but it’s in one piece with its tassels ...
