Here’s another great 1970’s pennant with the Padres’ Swinging Friar that I picked up in that same lot. Another candidate for a good cleaning.

That '78 All Star pennant looks really good to me. Not sure I would mess with that one. I would put it in the top 20% of those that have survived. That stiff white polyester felt was notorious for soiling, toning and browning.

Yours might benefit from bleaching, but looks pretty darned good as-is!

No bleach on the newer ones…..Oxyclean.

Bleach is for the older, soft ones. Have I taught you nothing? :p

It’s definitely in pretty nice shape for its age. I’m going to try out the OxiClean method on some lesser pennants but I think this one could still do well with a cleaning. It’s my first All-Star game pennant, so I definitely don’t want to damage it.

Seems like there’s a regular OxiClean and a whitening one. Do you remember which one you used?

These are the remaining pennants that I picked up this week in a lot. Nothing special, but I do like the ‘84 Padres one with the scroll of names. Sometimes you have to buy ones you don’t want to get to the ones you do want.

I wouldn't mess with the 78 All Star. It's not going to get much whiter than that. The risk outweighs the rewards.

Yes. That's what I was trying to say!

Ditto.

Embrace its patina.

Anyone have any tips on getting creases out?
