Campaigning to be added to more do not sell lists, I see.

Of course, he could always just come on here and lie about a pennant you sold him too, as has been proven. Tread lightly if you dare venture down his rabbit hole. He's a fun suck and not worth the hassle IMO.

BTW...Back so soon?

Quickly realized that one dishonest degenerate is not enough of a reason to keep me away.

And you make a good point, so yes, for all sellers, please DO add me to your “do not sell” list if you knowingly sell altered items without disclosing the alteration. Especially if you did the alteration yourself. Thank you!

Ok, so not exactly the most exciting pennant, but I bought this white Astros pennant from someone who said it had been rolled up for 30+ years. It is still a bit rolly (I'm sure it will adjust over time), but it is about white as I've ever seen for one of these. So many Astros pennants are grungy/having foxing/bug damage from being in the humid Houston area.

Nice. Having been rolled in storage is what kept it from yellowing. These and the Colts pennants with the circular logo are the only ones I know with that copyright inside the logo.

And yes it is interesting how those early Astros and Colt 45 pennants have moth eaten spines .... very hard to find one that is not damaged or even nipped a little. Never considered that it might be weather related.

Pretty sure at this point you don’t need to request that.

For the sake of this thread and everyone on it, I’ll let you have the last word. Have at it.

Hi Marc...

Great Astros pennant. Impossible to find the white cloth version in that great condition with no holes or soiling. Really a beautiful example.

To answer your question... Yes, I do have the elusive 1914 Matty World Tour Pennant. But mine is a unique mustard yellow version. I have never seen this unusual color on any other pennant. Hopefully the annoying sideways pic at least portrays the color accurately.

And to Greg's point, the extended spine is another pretty unique feature. I have seen similar elongated spines (in lieu of tassels) on auto/boat/cycle racing pennants from the teens... a short lived phenomenon, for sure. Attached is a pic of an oversized teens Tacoma Tigers pennant with a similar extended spine (albeit to a lesser extent).

Congrats to Greg for landing the Matty pennant in REA. It was my favorite piece in the entire auction (biased, though I am!)

Mark, yes I have that Tacoma Tigers with the same spine. Those cool WGN pennants from the early 50s have a 2/3-sized version with similar construction. I’ll see if I can find a pic, I don’t own any.

Following up the conversation in another thread. I've now had delivery of a few pennants that I ordered including the 1940s Boston Braves Pennants.

I bought 2 of the same 1940s pennant. As expected the wonky spine on one of them ironed out easily. The reason why the spine looked funny was because one side of the spine isn't attached to the pennant. I've added photos of the back of the pennants where the spine is attached.

Am I right that these look like the spines have been re-sewn. (I don't have a problem with it either way...they didn't cost much.)

That looks like an original production defect to me. I'd remove it and have a tailor or seamstress reattach it correctly. It's a nice pennant. No reason for it to be relegated to life as a freak.
