Here are my three SF Mullin Giants ... all three have subtle differences, middle one is turquoise and is missing the little baseball mark, also GG is white. Pennant at top is purple.

Lots of variability on the Trench pennants, actually ... here are two versions of the same Redlegs ... one on left is older (presumably 1956-57) with TMC mark, right has the baseball mark and team name stretches much longer towards the tip.

Attention Mr. Domer: Came to a realization that this here pennant must be a Keezer. For one, it is one color with the standard thick tassels. But I’ve only seen this for the 1946 and 1948 WS, both of which had teams from Boston. (Keezer was in NH.) The 1948 which I don’t own was made two-sided with Braves on reverse, which helps identify others of similar style from the late 1940s including some roster pennants.

What I can’t figure out is ... why is there a 9 on the pitcher’s chest?

I had noticed the "San Francisco" is more stretched out on some Trench pennants than others. But, in 25+ years of collecting Giants pennants, I had never noticed the backwards vs. forwards "F". Of my Trench pennants with the exact same block, shadowed GIANTS, 20 have the forward F while only 3 have the backwards F.

If pennants were collected like cards, could you imagine the money some of these subtle variations would bring? :eek:

I'm glad they're currently affordable, but hoping the prices take off right before it's time to liquidate. Just like the Mariners winning a world series... It could happen! :p

The variations keep me entertained while waiting for the really cool stuff.

While we're on the subject of cool and cheap variations...and with Rob showing his latest left handed batter variation...I thought I'd share this. I'm typically not a Cooperstown or HOF pennant collector. But this one was too cool and cheap to pass up.

Funny story...

I was due for an upgrade for my work phone, so standard policy is once you receive the new phone, you "open a ticket" online to return your old one back to corporate. We use Fed Ex shipping for this. So last week I open the ticket and receive the standard, "Fed Ex will pick up your phone tomorrow between 9:00 and 5:00 and will provide the shipping label etc" message.

So tomorrow comes and goes...and the next day...and the next day...all the while my old phone is packaged up, sitting inside my front door, ready to go. Finally yesterday, I think to myself I have to follow up and see what happened to the pick up...but I get sidetracked and never do.

Now it's today, early afternoon...I'm sitting on a call and I get pinged on Skype from an employee whose name I don't recognize. The message said:

"Hi Rob...I received a package from you with the wrong content. I actually appreciated it very much as I'm a Niners fan as well..."

I'm thinking who the hell is this and what is he talking about? Did I sell this person something on Ebay? Then he continues...

"I was expecting your old phone"

Then the lightbulb went off. I had bought a Niners pennant on ebay a couple weeks ago that had never arrived...or so I thought. Apparently it was delivered to my front door the day Fed Ex showed up and they mistook it for the package they were supposed to pick up. They just slapped a label on it without knocking and delivered my pennant back to corporate. Didn't leave a receipt or anything.

The guy was really cool and is sending it back to me via Fed Ex free of charge....but thank God I didn't order anything embarrassing. LOL

PS Marc...Nothing too exciting. Just their 1981 NFC West Champions pennant.

That's not the easiest pennant to find. Let me know if you ever see one that is white. I've been hunting that one.

I just found this HOF pennant also. Supposedly from 1939.
