It was fantastic, of course! The Shea pennant is particularly fantastic. It got me wondering which Giants pennant of mine might have the most colors. I can think of some suspects. I’m gonna check my photos…

Speaking of the Giants….is that a black spine on your 1961 Candlestick ASG pennant? I’ve always seen blue. Usually faded blue.

Mark … awesome!!! Do you have a ‘61 ASG from Fenway? The only Keezer All Star pennant that I know of, which makes sense given the company’s location. There’s also a Trench I believe, without a scroll, which I don’t have. I think it’s a “I was there” style …

Not the prettiest pennant I’ve ever seen but pretty awesome for its simplicity and uniqueness!

edit: not to mention its rarity!

Nope, I've never found that one in the condition I'd like. The white felt is always dirty or yellowed. Yours is a miracle survivor! Looks like it was made yesterday.... just awesome.

I have a few holes in the "run", but the one I really want to find is 1952 (with the Liberty Bell). Had a few chances at it back in the '90s, but snoozed and missed the window of opportunity. Now it never turns up.

I need 1969, which shouldn't be too tough in theory. But when they surface, they always have some deal-killing condition issue. There's a red and a white version for 1969.

I need 1965, but do not love picture pennants. And the ones I've seen always have a photo that looks re-applied or re-taped to the reverse. Seems to be the norm, as these photos must've easily detached upon simple handling of the pennant.

I also need 1955, as I idiotically sold mine many years ago. Graphically, the 1955 looks just like 1953, and I figured I didn't need both. It was in Mint condition, too... so lots of regret with that one.

That was a successful cleaning job. As for picture pennants, I find myself liking the 1960-61 Trenches, before they started using the ribbon. A real classic look to them and they used flocked print. I just need another damn wall …

That's what ceilings are for!

Agreed. It is rather unsightly. But still kinda cool. Keezer is underrated.

Bins, for sure. But mine are all Sterlite brand. Sterlite's bins (back when I bought them) were just big enough that I could store the pennants facing both ways (thus fitting twice as many into a bin). But I'm sure they've changed since then.

Mark, I like how you've stored those bins in your cabinet (as seen in your youtube video). I managed to pick up something similar in the UK but it's not wide enough to fit 2 pennants side by side. The hunt continues.

BTW, Part 2 of the ASG Pennant series was excellent. A series on the World Series pennants could be a great follow up. :)
