Nah, he’s just holding it for a friend, lol.

I’m more concerned with the bottle he’s about to throw.

The kid puffing on a cigarette priceless. I see a Browns and Cardinals pennant maybe the World Series?

Those two look like they're filming a scene for a movie. Everyone else is smiling for the camera.

The pennants look like they're made out of paper.

That Baltimore pennant looks like the person sewing the letters on may have been a bit tipsy... at least with the A. Seems like early 1900s is right, although I'm guessing it is impossible to know if it is related to baseball in any way. I guess the right price depends on how much you love Baltimore the city.

The St. Louis pic is awesome and funny. I enjoyed reading the book "Even the Browns" about that baseball season and the World Series.

Here is a recent pickup for me. I already had a few copies of this pennant and they are all beat up. The graphics on the scroll seem especially fragile and prone to crumbling for some reason. The graphics are relatively solid on this one and you can even still see a bit of paint in the oranges and the Bronco. But it came bedazzled with feathers for some reason. I have no idea why. They were sewn on with some kind of cray stitching system that was maddening to remove. I think I cut about 50 stitches. But I'm pleased with the result.

Great pennant, Marc! Santa Clara no longer plays football, right?

Regarding the picture….I also see a couple of valuable 6” Cardinals pinbacks in there. The kid inhaling the secondhand smoke looks like his pennant may be sewn to his shirt….something we saw in another picture. Maybe, maybe not.

Also regarding the picture, this is the 1944 world series. I see two copies of the world series program (back cover) in this picture. And Rob, I think the boy breathing the second hand smoke has his pennant pinned to his shirt with a smaller 2-1/2" cardinal pinback.

Good eye! That picture “has it all.” Back when kids could go to a World Series game on their own if they, or their parents, had a couple of bucks.

And, if you went on your own, you could smoke. :cool:

An assortment of recent pickups. With 20+ years of collecting Santa Clara, I was happy to find this new (to me) Orange Bowl pennant. I'd seen a Kentucky version so figured this existed, but had never seen it. Happy to get it even with the damage.

Luv Ya Blue is rather rare. People here in Houston are up in arms about Tennessee wearing the Oliers throwback uniforms this year. They are scheduled to wear them in a game against the Texans. Just seems wrong that those uniforms don't belong to a Houston team. I like how the Ravens handled things with the (new) Browns.

I liked the red tassels on the NY Giants. New York Giants seem tougher and tougher to find these days. Lots of Dodgers and Yankees, but not so many Giants.
