Along with the mystery of the few teams that don’t have stadium pennants … teams that never had team pic pennants. Colt 45s/Astros and Cubs come to mind. A few others have them for 1-2 years (Senators, Giants?), others run the whole decade. Phillies have at least 13 different ones from 1960-69.

The Tigers have some great photo pennants but my favorite team photo pennant is the 74 Red Sox.

I've catalogued 50 different team photo pennants (though I know there's many that I've missed). This is the breakdown:

• LA Dodgers 13 (1960, 1962, 1963 - 4 variations, 1965 - 2 variations, 1966, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1977, 1978 - 2 variations)
• Cincinnati Reds 9 (1960, 1961 - 3 variations, 1967, 1973, 1975 - 2 variations, 1976
• Detroit Tigers 9 (1960, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968 - 2 variations, 1969, 1971, 1972, 1973,
• Chicago White Sox 6 (1959 - 2 variations, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965)
• Baltimore Orioles 5 (1963, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970)
• Boston Red Sox 4 (1967, 1968, 1970, 1974(
• California Angels 1 (1963)
• Houston Astros 1 (1978)
• Kansas City Royals 1 (1980)

The Cubs could not have photo pennants because they didn’t take team photos for many years. I think Mr Wrigley was just too cheap to pay a photographer.

Actually, technically, this '74 Red Sox photo pennant is by Madaras. (Note the "M" maker's mark.) Their only year in business.

But, yeah, might as well be by ASCO, right...?

I must have missed the identification of the "M" mark. Now, I know.

Here's the Giants' one photo pennant and their Madaras offering.

What is on the back of the photo? Anything? Very unusual (and cool) design.
