Those Tigers pennants are fantastic. They look so nice all together.

Fballguy and I were talking the other day about how cameras on iphones (and probably other phones as well) are making it difficult to tell when pennants are stained or faded. If I really want my pennants to look bright, I can take a photo inside my house, in the later afternoon, with the lights off and the iphone magically makes the pennant look bright and great.

But it has been an issue for buying pennants, especially white pennants. Both of the pennants below are harder to find than you might think, especially in decent shapte. Both looked white in auction photos. Both were yellowish when they arrived. Luckily Oxyclean works very well on these. I have them pictured next to a pennant that I accidentally left in oxyclean overnight. That pennant did get very white, and the black graphics were unharmed, but the orange was damaged. So, I was not able to get these new ones "overnight white", but they do look much better now. I don't think that sellers were intentionally trying to make these look spectacular when they sold (neither was expensive at all). The phones just automatically make them look better in many situations.

Nice improvement! I think we just invented a new color for Benjamin Moore..."Overnight White". Great for Laundry Rooms and Doctor's Offices.

While we're on the subject of more modern pennants...What term are we using for the material that these 1970s-90s pennants are made of?

I prefer "polyester" or "guillotine blade" because you can decapitate someone with one of those pennants if you're not careful.

I think you're onto something Mark. You can definitely lose an eye if you're not careful. Guillotine blades or maybe..."Snake Plisskens"?

Nice pennant, but I'd definitely be looking for some kind of adjustment if I got that with that much tip missing without mention or depiction among all those photos.

Amazing collection!

Completely agree. He needed to include the tip in the provided pics, or (at a minimum) mention it in the description.

New arrival today. That makes 9 ASG Pennants. This was was auctioned already in the frame just to make my life a little easier :)

Apart from a tack hole near the tip, the condition is pretty nice.

Very nice! This is, to the best of my knowledge, the oldest of the Trench stadium/scroll ASG pennants. In ‘57 they depicted Busch Stadium but no scroll. And I think they have one older with a scroll of starters but not ballpark. They had a good run from ‘58 through … ? 1963?

There are other non-Trench ASG scroll pennants of course but these are the nicest.
