Here’s the whole catalog for the maker of my OU pennant:

I don’t want to go through pages and pages of HPG to find your posts. I also seem to remember Mark said the frames meant to hold (3) 8x10 photos would work. If need be, I’d cut “windows” on the back side to show the labels.

Sure. The heavy vinyl was a flop. I had to tape both edges and over time they sagged and the tape slid. I eventually replaced all of them with poster toploaders which give me one existing rigid edge that I use for the bottom edge, and I tape the top. Big success. I am able to get two large pennant holders from one $20 40” toploader. Only one of my oversized exceeds that, I have a 42” Cubs and had to put on an “extension” at the tip. I use photo toploaders for framing my minis, a guillotine paper cutter comes in real handy as does invisible wrapping tape. The Athletics above came from a 40” toploader.

I have also used smaller poster toploaders for custom fitting smaller 8x26 pennants that look odd in the normal sizes holders. I’ve also trimmed standard pennant holders to size.

Are you able to find those big toploaders locally? I saw them online at a good price but there was a minimum order of ten units. I think I have a Plan B.

I think I bought 6 or 7 at $20 apiece, online.

The pennant is not great but the history is cool.

The history is cool. Beautiful catalogue, great find Rob. And, your "pennant" is even cooler ... but, remember--it's not a pennant; it's a burgee. :)

Added this guy not too long ago. The Indian graphic seemed pretty unique. 23” long

The pennant is not great but the history is cool. For not the first time, I should have left well enough alone but did not. Untying the tassles opened a big can of worms. I need to get this thing under plexiglass and never f**k with it again. I think I will display it with what's left of the tassels folded over.

OU is said to have the best sports marketing (or sports management?) program in the country. The school owns a franchise in a summer collegiate league and their students pretty much run it as an internship.

I’d never heard that. I always thought their claim to fame was being named the #1 Party School in numerous years. :p

Nice pickup Greg...

I admired that one when it was on eBay a couple weeks ago. Looks like you tailored the toploader to fit the pennant?

Given the wasteland that eBay has become, you are on quite a roll as of late!

Just released a new video on 2 of my earliest pennants. More to come... hope you enjoy...
