You are taking this very seriously, Professor Butch! I think Oxyclean is the way to go. Soak the crap out of it! My brown Giants pennant was immersed for hours! Looking forward to seeing the results!

Now...let's talk about the Post Office...

The pennant I sent back to Keith Javic went from Salt Lake City to Philadephia in 3 days. Meanwhile, the new one he's sending to me is still in Philly after seven days. WTF??? :mad:

I swear it is well passed time to resurrect the Pony Express. At least they delivered. :cool:

Why is the bathtub not an option, Butch? Wife? :cool:

Unfortunately that's par for the course these days. :(

Senators, Boston Braves, Phila A’s … in fact I think the seller of the Colts is selling all of these as vintage. And I think Mark said it before, this could be a Xmas gift from wife to husband, neither of whom may ever know …

Of course it’s understandable how most people might not know … I have reached out to other sellers before, most appreciate it but some take offense and insist they are authentic.

Once you've seen enough, these stand out like a sore thumb. I think half of the sellers know but still pedal them as vintage, while the other half simply don't sell enough to know the difference.

There is a 1958 Corpus Christi Hooks pennant on ebay, right now. The seller calls it both a SGA and vintage. I guess it’s a vintage, not old, SGA. :p

Butch,
Glad one of them worked. You’ll have to post the results.

The more I think about this, Butch....

How about soaking it in your shower pan (if you can plug the drain)? I really think it should soak in the Oxyclean. If not the shower pan, I would lay it on a non-porous surface....countertop, car hood, etc.
