This reminds me of the Dodgers pennant we were talking about recently, with a team photo and city-related graphics. Looks like the planned/executed this one a bit better.

Thanks to Mike M for making this available to me. The 16th Orange Bowl was Santa Clara vs. Kentucky. The material (shiny, silk like) is similar to two of my Orange Bowl pennants, which makes me wonder if the pennants were made to advertise the game (as opposed to sold at the game).

How big is that thing?

It's about 17 inches in diameter, which is a perfect display size for me (I'm just about out of wife-approved wall space).

Yes...I've seen it. It's fantastic. King Corcoran was such character/con man. I think I actually have it on DVD somewhere. Nobody told a story like Steve Sabol. NFL Films hasn't been the same since he died.

This has no place in a pennant thread, but I wouldn’t want to antagonize the card guys.....$5.2M for a baseball card???? :eek: And we geek out over $5k pennants. Card guys are nuts.

Yeah but is that after the buyer's premium? :D

And there are 1,000 examples of that card for every one of those pennants.

Not to mention it's no comparison on the aesthetics. :rolleyes:

That card would look like **** on my wood paneling.

I feel like a ‘52 Mantle is obtainable for anyone willing to pay.

A Keezer Giants like Bocca’s? I’d pay but they’re not out there!
