Nice Mike!

I used to have a red one. Tried many times to trade with Mike H, but he just despised this one, calling the Cub a bug-eyed raccoon. We laughed about it a lot, and every time we were getting close on a trade, I offered to throw it in (knowing he would never take it).

I like it though, and think late 30s - early 40s is about the best we can pin it down. Nice pickup of a very rare variation!

I see the raccoon reference but I like it too. Great story! Thanks.

Mike that’s a cool pennant. I’ve only seen it once before, white print only on red felt. Yours is a beauty!

Thanks Greg.

Nice minor league pennants Greg. Also love seeing the rare Cubs/Raccoon pennant from Mike.

Here are two 49ers pennants that Fballguy was willing to part with. The single bar with stars pennant is something I've been wanting for some time.

I'm really glad to see all of the pictures come back after the site issues.

To get things moving again, here is a picture of a pennant that I'd really, really like to find. An ever rarer version of the single bar with stars.

Wow...Never seen that one come up for sale.

Fellows what is the preferred method of shipping a pennant? Flat, rolled? Yesterday I received one folded up in a 6" x 8" box, I was not pleased though it ironed out ok.

What does it cost to mail one flat. Should I cut cardboard and wrap the pennant inside?

Flat is best. Back in the day, you could still ship a flat 14” x 32” pretty cheaply. Remember $3.20 Priority? :p Newer, stiff pennants almost have to be shipped flat because ironing won’t always take out the creases. Plus, they can melt! :eek: For older, soft pennants, I always ask for loosely rolled, at a minimum. I’m also OK with lightly folded in a decent sized (say 12” x 12”) box. Unfortunately, I think we’ve all received pennant oragami at one time or another.

If you cut two pieces of cardboard in the shape of the pennant, just a little bigger, you can usually keep the weight below 13 oz, and ship it first class for about $5 or less. Over that weight, it needs to go priority for $8 or $9.00. But I always request any pennant that I buy be shipped flat and will pay the extra if necessary to avoid damaging the pennant.
