The six biggest mysteries of the universe, in order ...

6. Is there life on other planets?
5. Why do the Tigers have, by far, the most attractive looking vintage pennants? (No other team is close.)
4. Does God exist?
3. Does a Phillies stadium pennant exist?
2. Is there life after death?
1. Was the pennant artist immediately fired after designing this Joe D pennant?

Regarding "The six biggest mysteries of the universe, in order ..."

I would attempt a reply to a few of those, but I'd be breaking the rules. :D
So, I'll just say this about the #1 mystery: I hope he\she wasn't fired. I really like that pennant.

Enjoyed your creative post!

I also think the Joe D Pennant is excellent.

Nice display Jerry

It's a great pennant! Very attractive. But why is he hitting lefty?

Jason - Thanks
Cut off Willie Mays pennant in original photo.

Good point! I didn't even notice that.

I have seen similar style pennants of Jackie, Larry Doby, Satchel Paige, and Luke Easter. Anyone know of others like these? They are very, very cool.

Please forgive the intrusion into this awesome thread, but I am in the process of reading through it. I have about a year and a half to go, but I wanted to say what a mind-blowing thread this is! The quality of the vintage pennants, especially the colors and logos, is so incredible! The modern production stuff pales in comparison. I don't know how I have been in the hobby this long without having gone down this road. Frankly, I am a bit jealous. :D I have seen some really neat framed jobs so far. Do you frame your own? In most cases the frames look roomy enough so that it wouldn't be too hard to do. Please keep posting these beauties. I hope to purchase a few this year.

Glad you like this thread, Robert. I am one of the "pennant guys." Not the most knowledgeable and not with the best collection, but I am pretty well versed in Giants pennants. One thing that fascinates me about pennants is their evolution and, in some cases, the near impossibility of finding certain exmples...examples that SEEM like they shouldn't be impossible. I'll take this oppurtunity to post a few of my "most wanted." In order of pictures posted, I have seen these pennants offered for sale this many times: once, once, a couple of times, once, once (a unique variation of a more common series), never, never.
