No idea but I've been waiting for a case of them to be discovered in a New Orleans warehouse since I got it. So far so good. It's interesting though that there are SB II and SB IV pennants that list both teams. Is SB III out there somewhere?

Decided to mix it up with some college football. Looks like the dude is about to stiff arm the gator [emoji1377][emoji246][emoji458]

Exciting stuff is becoming fewer and farther between and as a result I've developed an appreciation for extremely rare modern stuff (80's-90's). Believe it or not, there is some cool stuff out there. Very under appreciated in my opinion. Don't know if it will ever take off from a value perspective, but does keep me interested when the vintage well runs dry.

This pretty much represents the best of my 2021 vintage efforts...The Eagles is particularly intriguing to me as it's black and includes tassels. I've never seen that pennant in any other color and it's always tassel-less.

Great stuff, Rob. Mt favorite is the "Brownies." :p

  • Oxiclean works well but only use if for short amounts of time (e.g. an hour or two at most)
  • If using Oxiclean, what for any bleeding of the graphics. As you as you see that, take it out and stop.
  • Bleach on white pennants, can't be beat.


Is the Phillies pennant stiff or soft?

The lessons I've learned:

* Oxiclean only works on the newer, stiff white pennants. It doesn't do much on the softer felt ones.
* Bleach works great on some older white pennants but I had a disaster on one with red graphics.
* Oxyclean can improve older, colored pennants but it's not usually a huge improvement.

Another lesson is I just learned is I can't figure out how to format bullet points! :p

I'm extremely happy to have picked up this three quarter size "batter and bridge' pennant. The full size versions are extremely common. There are probably 10-20 for sale on ebay at any given time. This is the first 3/4 I've ever seen. I have a similar 3/4, but it is not an exact replica of the full size. It's interesting that I've never seen one of these - the silk screen would have had to have been completely different i.e. they didn't just print full size graphics on a smaller pennant. It also appears this one never had color, other than the shoes. I've looked at it closely and I don't think it's a case of the color just fading out. BTW - do we know who made these left handed batter pennants?

I just noticed, too, that the "F" used on the 3/4's is a "hybrid" of the F's used on the full sized versions. The minutiae never ends!

Very Cool looking pennants and great detail in them.

Those San Fran Pennants would look great on display.

Just curious how do most pennants get displayed that are shown in this thread?

Rigid holders and thumbtacks. Lots of them!
