Here's another definite Keezer. It's a shame the vast majority of these football Keezers are mini's. :(

Jackie Robinson barnstorming pennant

Here are a couple photos of my Jackie Robinson 1953-54 barnstorming pennant on display at the Jackie Robinson Museum in NYC. It's displayed right below a 1997 50th anniversary pennant, and right next to a 1949 Welcome Dodgers banner that is high up on my wish list. I haven't made it to see the museum in person yet, buy hopefully will soon. I know several MLB teams have toured the museum when they traveled to NY since it opened.

That’s awesome. What a great pennant and the condition is spectacular. Any idea if there is UV protection on that glass or the holder? I only ask because those pennants fade so easily, I can’t imagine there is a more pristine version of that in existence.

Yes, it’s protected. I would be surprised if any newly constructed major museum didn’t use UV glass these days. I’ve been loaning items to museums for a while now and never had an issue. On the other hand, I have a friend who loaned a baseball glove to the Baseball HOF for 5 years, and the markings on the glove were certainly faded when it was returned. He thought it was displayed in UV glass, but who knows for sure.

Great stuff Rick. I personally use all LED lights as well. You’re a lot braver than I loaning your stuff out. It’s always great to share, but few people treat our items like we would treat them. I would be worried to no end.

How much do those depreciate once you take them off the rack? 100%?

Jason, yeah, I do worry the whole time they are gone that they will return just as they left. I try to deal with major museums only in the hopes they know what they are doing. I have turned down requests when I don't know the organization very well. My biggest concern was when I lent items to Dodger Stadium for their pop-up museum since I knew they used florescent lights and there were a lot of windows. But all of my exhibits had UV filtering acrylic to protect them, and the exhibit was only for a couple of months. I enjoy sharing items from my collection, and I guess that outweighs my concerns for the slight risk they will be damaged in some manner.

Yeah, I enjoy sharing stuff too. Wish caretakers and historians cared as much as we do.

Rick, you’re a better man than I.

I won’t even leave a valued piece with a professional framer, in the fear they’ll “f” something up. I must have at least 300 framed pieces, and have done every single one myself. :eek:
